This does not mean anything without any details as to what you are trying
to prove and how you are doing it.
You're probably misrepresenting, because I do a similar thing thru a Server
on the internet and which is a different from what is under discussion.
He's trying to prove you don't know what you're talking about - which
he did quite nicely.
The authority to associate a domain name with a given IP address does
*not* require the root servers, does *not* require permission from the
owner of the IP address, and is entirely at the whim of the owner of
the authoritative DNS for the given zone.
I can assign a host with *any* IP address a DNS entry in my DNS zone.
The DNS administrator or aarnet.edu.au could do the same, should he or
she {or more likely they} desire to.
There's nothing the owner of 203.7.132.1 could do about it. Hell,
they'd most likely not even *know* about it unless someone pointed it
out to them.
You sure you're not thinking of RDNS? That requires the approval of
the owner of the netblock concerned before it'll work.
