RE: [cobalt-users] Reverse Problem

["Rick" <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
my nameserver for my domain resides on 3 places
the other nameserver (not controlled by me) forwarded cobalt.vpopmail.org to
my Raq3.
So, i had then thought that the forward on my server was working.
But, when i tried to forward a host to some other machine, it dosent seem to
work.
So, i have now concluded that there is something wrong with bind.
My uplink provider has given me authority for reverse

Regards,
Rick

Whoever supplied you with your IP#s either must do the reverse for your
DNS, or delegate to you the authority to do it.

Your reverse records are NOT in the same domain as your forward DNS
records, and you don't automatically get authority for them.

In fact, most of us, unless we get an entire C-class or more, have our
provider do the reverse DNS for us.
