help wiht classless network and reverse lookups

[Bill Dossett]

I'm using version 8.something... should have mentioned that...
I've tried slash and dash, both produce the same results...
Any other ideas appreiciated... It sounds as though it should
work for my internal network, even if my ISP isn't set up
per RFC2317?

Thanks

Bill
