I have access the the parent nameserver that should be delegating the
subnet to my domain.  Unfortunately it's using BIND 4.  I changed the
named.boot file to include the following lines, I think it's correct:


secondary 96-126.92.97.209.in-addr.arpa 209.227.44.2 db.209.97.92.96-126

Is this correct?  I used our primary nameserver, as opposed to the
parent nameserver.  The line for the whole Class C is:

secondary 92.97.209.in-addr.arpa 209.97.92.3 db.209.97.92.0

Unfortunately, the set up of our parent nameserver is a bit wacky.  The
secondary nameserver(ns2) is the master replicates to the primary
nameserver(ns1), so it adds another level of confusion.  The secondary
nameserver (which for all intents and purposes is the primary
nameserver) uses BIND 8.  Should I add the equivalent lines into the
named.conf of the secondary parent nameserver.  Or something like this?

zone "96-126.92.97.209.in-addr.arpa" {
        type secondary;
        file "db.209.97.92.96-126";
};


I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Reuben
