RE: [cobalt-users] slow responding CGI's VERY long...

["John Burgess" <john.burgess@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can't say I ever heard of using netmasks or /24 or /8 or /16 or /whatever in
DNS.  However, I haven't tried to run DNS on a RAQ.  I have run accross some
Linux apps that seem to want that kind of notation.  I use old fashioned Sun
SPARC's for DNS and keep the files up by hand.  I suppose if I ever get to
the point where I am changing/adding hundreds of domains a day, I'll have to
change though.

Interesting.  Hmmmmm.....

Can't find any reference to this in the book DNS & Bind.  Only something
like this:

0-63.254.253.192.in-addr.arpa.   IN NS ns1.foo.com

And only for delegating.

Hmmmmm....

Any DNS experts on the list know anything about this?  (I've never done it,
yet my reverse DNS seems to work just fine <hmmmmm.....>
