Reverse mapping on a non-octet boundary

[Sam Pointer]

Thanks for your help! I now see that my provider *has* followed the RFC2317
method that I have used before with my other ISP.

I think my confusion came from thinking about it too hard! I now see, as you
say, that I will have to maintain 3 files for the various ranges.

Again, many thanks for your help. This list and its population has been a
wonderful resource to me. 

>No, not in this case ( unless your provider makes adjustments )

>What your provider delegated is 3 zones :
>0-31.246.167.195.in-addr.arpa.
>32-39.246.167.195.in-addr.arpa.
>40-43.246.167.195.in-addr.arpa.
>
>You will setup 3 zonefiles, ( zone "0-31.246.167.195.in-addr.arpa" { ... )
>with contents exactly as if you owned the 246.167.195.in-addr.arpa :

>@	IN SOA ( ...
>	IN NS  xxx
>	IN NS  yyy
>1	IN	PTR	firsthost.domain.tld.
>2	IN	PTR	secondhost.domain.tld.
>etc

>If you could convince your provider to delegate all three ranges as :

>hpdsc	IN      NS      ns1.hpdsc.com.
>hpdsc	IN	NS	ns2.hpdsc.com.

>and in their CNAME replace "[0-31|32-39|40-43]" with "hpdsc" 

>you would of course be autorative for "hpdsc.246.167.195.in-addr.arpa." 
>and could have all your PTR in this file.
