hi.
i'm new to linux, but have successfully managed to install bind for our college. everything seems fine when i check it out with samspade, but the reverse lookups don't seem to be right.
our external subnet is /27.
here are some relevant bits from my reverse lookup file--
$ORIGIN 192/27.38.86.194.IN-ADDR.ARPA.
IN NS dns.ourcollege.ac.uk.
IN NS external.ca.net.
195 IN PTR rtr.ourcollege.ac.uk.
from these lines i'm trying to set up a reverse lookup on rtr.ourcollege.ac.uk to 194.86.38.195 - is this how it's done or am i missing something fundamental?
thanks for any help!
