RE: [cobalt-developers] bind - named.conf error

["Kal Amry" <kamry1888@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gerald do you have the problem of not being able to do a reverse look up on
the Raq 4. Is it an ISP problem or Cobalt. I'm not running the DNS as you
know, and I was using our ISPs dns, but today it wasn't functioning and I
had to use US WEST DNS without their knowledge just to be able to use e-mail
services.

Whenever an e-mail is received, the cobalt tries to do a reverse lookup when
it shouldn't. Thus, if an e-mail comes from yahoo.com then I won't be able
to get it 'cause the Cobalt tries to do a reverse lookup on yahoo, and since
the original dns of our ISP doesn't look to the outside world from the
inside (Where our Server Resides), we can't get an e-mail. I heard that the
Raq 3 doesn't behave in this way and it is Only the Raq 4 and no one knew
why is it doing a reverse lookup upon getting an e-mail????

WHY? WHY? WHY?
Does cobalt insist on writing the reverse file to named.conf like this?
zone "0/24.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file
"pri.0-24.3.3.1.in-addr.arpa"; };
Excuse me for shouting!
WHEN IT SHOULD BE LIKE THIS!!!
zone "0-24.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file
"pri.0-24.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa"; };

Note: the first few characters of the line!
Cobalt insist on using 32/24 (which does not work - breaks reverse)
Real people write 32-24 (which works)

I have asked several times for the location of the script that does this,
but no
answer!
I have to continually correct this file if I fool with DNS in the GUI.

If I forget my (external) mail server tells me, takes for ever to
authenticate,
because it can't do a reverse on my IP.

I have RaQ2, and RaQ3 nameservers that perform in this manner. I have RaQ4s
but
I don't run DNS on them.

Cobalt is anyone there (HELLO) ?
