Hi.
Our ISP has allocated different IP address ranges to two different offices
(say 194.131.x.x to one office and 64.191.x.x to the other). However,
both sites have internet facing machines that belong to the same domain
(say johndoe.com). All of the PTR records in the 1.1.131.194.in-addr.arpa
file reflect only the last octet (if that is the correct terminology) of
the IP address in the 194.131.x.x range. However, I have one machine at
that other site that must be referenced for purposes of the Reverse
lookup.
Can I put an entry in the 1.1.131.194.in-addr.arpa file with the format
(for example):
2.1.191.64 PTR someserver.johndoe.com.
The IP address is completely different from the other addresses in the
range, but both belong to the domain johndoe.com. I don't think I can
have two reverse files for the same domain.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Russell
