Hi

I am setting up a DNS server on my machine, to act as a nameserver for all requests for a website I am hosting. For all other requests it will forward all the requests to the NS of my parent Network.

The question is that in the file in /var/named, for reverse lookup, called , db.128.197.14.80, do I add the first item in the, SOA entry as 80.14.197.128,in-addr.arpa (which is my IP and the only machine in my "pseudo-domain") or 14.197.197.128.in-addr.arpa  (which is my parent network).

e.g Should it be :

80.14.197.128.in-addr.arpa.   IN      SOA     dhruv.bu.edu. hostmaster.dhruv.bu.edu. (
 

OR ...


14.197.128.in-addr.arpa.   IN      SOA     dhruv.bu.edu. hostmaster.dhruv.bu.edu. (

Thanks
- Sumit
