setting DNS for my linux

[Adrian Goins]

you cannot run as master on an IN-ADDR.ARPA block smaller than a /24 (256
addresses).  the most you can do is run secondary and have your ISP update
the block, or use CNAME->PTR redirection to get control of the 8 addys you
have assigned to you.

setting yourself as master for a portion of a block that someone else is
running master for is a "Bad Thing." (tm)
