You should probably confer with the admin of the auth server to 
determine precisely what their version of the zone is (if you haven't 
already queried the master server to determine it for yourself). 
Miscommunication about the zone names for 2317 zones are rather common. 
Unless you've been told by the parent admin that the zone is precisely 
192/26.* do not assume that is the case. There are a number of ways to 
represent 2317 zones.

Good luck,

Doug
