Hello Christian Caruthers,

Thanks for your mail. The feature you asked is not provide by xCAT by default. 
xCAT only configured BIND 9 to resolve the hostnames and IPs managed in xCAT 
cluster.

In your question, IPv4 address 172.23.100.10 and 192.168.100.10 both belong to 
Address Allocation for Private Internets defined in RFC 1918. If these two IPv4 
addresses are in two different networks and you want two internal DNS servers 
to do the reverse DNS lookup from each other’s internal database. You have to 
configue BIND 9 manually. This case is not covered by xCAT default settings. 
You may refer to The BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manuals [1].
