Somehow I misunderstand you. Could you please show
the actual
DNS records you are using?
As I understand DNS, when you have a server
like
www.mydomain.com.
A
192.98.84.182
then the reverse record would read:
182.84.98.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR
www.mydomain.com.
So your example with the 100.100.100.100 is not
understood by me.
1.) the final dots are
missing
2.) the PTR record is not part of
the IN-ADDR.ARPA.
domain
3.) the order of the bytes might
not be reversed (this cannot be seen in your example,
because all
bytes have the same value 100).
Finally if you are in need to set up the reverse
domain, you must own a complete ARPA
subdomain, e.g. you must have got 255 IP-adresses
from your upstream ISP provider,
because otherwise he would be the one who has the
authority over the ARPA-records.
So you see, I'm totally confused by your question.
And I'm not the first one in this
email list who asks you to be more specific.
Nevertheless it seems to me as if you
resent your original question unmodified.
So please RTFEL - Read The Fantastic Email List -
Thank you.
Michael
