[cobalt-users] nslookup wont find site with similar ip, thinks it local



This is weird and I'm not sure why it happens.  The gist (not the
actual ip addresses or domains) is that I have 1.2.3.192-207 and he
has 1.2.3.64-127. I have a.org and he has b.org. I cant view
www.b.org, because the lookup times out. Basically we have the same
ISP and he has given us, as his custromers, a subnet to use. Nslookup
fails when I from the RaQ XTR home to a.org, try to get to lookup
b.org.

I haven't put anything into the system to indicate in whatever
networking options are available that this is not a /24 - 256 address
network but a /29 or should that be /28 --
anyhow I have 16 address and the mask is 255.255.255.240 

The only place where I see anything besides the failure of nslooku
indicating that it is being treated as a /24 is in /etc/named/records
where I have all these lines with 24s after them. How did they get
there? Why wasn't i asked? Where can I set this?

a ns sspl.org 208.20.128.194 24
