Actually you just need to *let* the hosts update their own ptr records using UPDATE.
Well, that's an interesting proposal and worthwhile considering. I proposed something vaguely similar vis a vis WHOIS recently (it's not entirely original with me), just put it a URL (or similar) in an RR which when queried will return whatever WHOIS info the owner of the domain wants to return, including nothing. Something like: IN RRR http://www.example.com/whois where RRR is TBD. Could even be a mailto, for example, or anything, the info in place even if it's brief. Someone back I think in 2001 proposed using the SRV RR for this, it's maybe a little awkward in format but same idea basically. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
