Reverse DNS lookups

[WebReactor Networks]

I'll make it easy for you, but RTFM (Read The Fine Manual, or Fine RFC in
this case) anyway; I might have made a mistake.

;
; ------ Begin db.217.8.136 ------
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA yourdomain.tld. hostmaster.yourdomain.tld. (
        200202060       ; Serial number
        28800   ; Refresh after (seconds)
        7200    ; Retry after (seconds)
        604800  ; Expire after (seconds)
        86400   ; Negative Cache TTL (seconds)
)
; Nameserver entries
 IN     NS      ns1.yourdomain.tld.

; Host Entries

3       IN PTR  host3.yourdomain.tld.
4       IN PTR  host4.yourdomain.tld.
;
; ...where host1's IP address is 217.8.136.1, and so on
;
; ------ End db.217.8.136 ------
;

In named.conf...

zone "136.8.217.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "db.217.8.136";
};

Subject: Reverse DNS lookups

I want to administrate my own reverse, but im a bit out of my league here.

I have 4 ip adresses which my ISP is administrating the reverse for, but i
wanna do this my self. My ISP can forward this to me but, I dont know how to
set up reverse for ip adresses that is`nt a part of a class C net.

Here is an example on how it looks like:


217.8.136.xx
217.8.136.yy
subnet: 255.255.255.128

How should the input in my named.conf file be? And how would my zone file
for these ip adresses look like.
