A question about PTR records
Hi, What is the best practice when using PTR in an ISP? is it dividing IP blocks (like; x.x.x.in-addr.arpa.) and therefore having more than one PTR zone file? or just use x.in-addr.arpa.and include everything inside that file? regards, ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

If you are delegation parts of the in-addr.arpa namespace to others it is often easier to also delegate the namespace to yourself so that management is consistant. If you have RFC 2317 style delegations the parent zone, which contains the CNAMES, also needs to be transfered to ensure that reverse lookups continue to work on the subnet using that namespace. A smaller parent zone is useful in this case. Smaller zones also reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred whenever a change happens. You can also mix and match. Note you can change schemes later if you want to.
