Who says he was entering that in his PTR records - he was just merly telling me what his range was. I think his issue is that he does not have the entries for the authoritive name servers.

You cannot have a slash in a host name; only letters, numbers, and hyphens. It's a per-IP lookup, not for a whole range. If you have an IP you want to have a reverse entry for, for example you want 12.160.192.6 to resolve to ahost.example.com, then 6.192.160.12.in-addr.arpa has a PTR record for ahost.example.com. I think you may want to search Google for an example of how it works. -Karl Jeff Montgomey wrote: > My IP range is 12.160.193.0/28 (0/28.193.160.12.in-addr.arpa). > > Yes it is delegated to me and this ns is registered. > Thanks for the help. > > Chris Odell wrote: > >> What is the ip range that is assigned to you?
