Aside from lacking basic features that would allow it to be honestly called a DNS server, it is slow and quite buggy. Armed with the knowledge that you are running MacDNS, anyone in the world with a will to do so could keep the machine running it crashing continuously. Thankfully, it is grossly unsuitable as an authority for reverse zones, so there's no possibility of explaining how to make it handle reverse resolution. 2. It appears that an entity called 'westel.com' controls the reverse resolution for 204.244.*, and they have not delegated 204.244.59.* to anyone. If the SOA record is to be believed, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should get you to the person who can set up reverse resolution for you. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
