We were having a small problem here and I traced it down to a reverse DNS lookup on a 172.16 address hanging.
hmm...yeah. they'll do that.
I noticed that a.root-servers.net reports that BLACKHOLE.ISI.EDU is authoritative for 16.172.in-addr.arpa.
Is this the way it should be, or is the yet another network solutions mistake? Who should really handle DNS for rfc1918 addresses?
well...imho, they should be delegated to localhost. and everyone should have a localhost zone with the proper address in it, to go with their 127.in-addr.arpa zone file. but then again, some people think i'm weird. -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior@daemon.org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet@graffiti.com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew@crossbar.com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
