not authoritative

[Steven Fagan]

I have only a partial class C from Verio.  I am not looking to make it
available to the world, just local users.  Verio was nice enough to refer me
to the makers of my router (I have no idea why).  All I want to do is run a
local DNS for local users with a reverse lookup.  Do I have to go to a
10.xx.xx.xx network to do that?

Thanks for the Help
Steve

Is xx.xx.xx.in-addr.arpa the reverse domain for the class C that you have
part of?  You're not supposed to be authoritative for the whole class C
reverse domain, Verio is.

Verio should delegate the partial class C to you using the technique in RFC
2317.
