As I recall, ARIN doesn't let you change DNS authority information in blocks larger than /24. They send the SWiP template back to you. The only way to really give reverse authority for those is to use cname records in the authoritve server's zone and point them to another in-addr zone for the /26 or /27 or whatever, then pull that smaller zone from the end-user's name server. My company knows how to do it, it's just that DSL customers don't give us enough money to spend the time doing it. Typing out 32 cname records, setting up a new zone, and then dealing with the end user when they can't figure out how to set up a master record that allows us to pull the zones is just way too time consuming for the limited profit margin of a DSL line.

Look in the O'Reilly "DNS and BIND" book, 3rd ed., page 217. Also,
RFC2317.
However, I have not yet found a single upstream that even knows how to do it, let alone offers this as a service. They are also not happy that I
won't
sign control of my domains over to them and that I run my own zone servers. Gee, why don't I hand over my bank accounts while I'm at it?
BTW, if you know an ISP that does, I want their contact number. I'm not trying to win any arguments here. If I lose then I win, because I will have found a decent vendor. Also, with my monthly recurring cash on the line, don't you think I've been looking? Also, SpeakEasy seems to not have heard about SWiP.

I don't remember being able to delegate anything less than a /24 for reverse purposes. Correct me if I'm wrong. You can't swip less than a /24, but you can assign it.

I really couldn't care less about SpeakEasy. I just didn't feel like watching yet another of your blatantly inaccurate blanket statements slide by. Case in point, *both* of those statements above are inaccurate.

I'm sorry Roeland, but your statement about SWIP'ing anything less than a /24 is just inaccurate. We SWIP /29s and /30s daily, for both our Frame and our DSL customers.
Tell it to SpeakEasy.
