I haven't actually tried this, but I have been told that if you actually use @Home's DNS servers and query the RFC1918 addresses for the routers, it will give you back "intelligent" names.
I've tried it, without success. If anyone finds a particular DNS server in their realm which does resolve these, please let me know. They seem to treat the info as trade secrets... very annoying.
i tried it. it worked fine. dig home.net ns and try those. i just axfr'ed 168.192.in-addr.arpa (36 answers) 10.in-addr.arpa (3770 answers) 16.172.in-addr.arpa (926 records) 17.172.in-addr.arpa (158 records) from their ns2.home.net (24.2.0.27). they're not using the rest of 172.16/12. or, at least, don't have the reverse zones set up.
Considering the large chunk of 24/8 they have, I can't imagine why they had to use RFC 1918 addresses throughout their infrastructure. When I raised issues about this (just after getting a T1 to their network), they had no answers other than that since they chose an MTU of 1500 bytes for all their links, they didn't think path MTU discovery would be an issue.
well then, they're obviously clueless. -- |-----< "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."
