Someone over there has decided, perhaps by accident, to include actual \032 chars in their PTRs, which they may want to fix, eg zdns output: 87.88.9.76:87\\ -\\ 88-9-76.abo.bbox.fr 87.88.9.77:87-\\ 88-9-77.abo.bbox.fr dig -x output: 76.9.88.87.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN PTR 87-\03288-9-76.abo.bbox.fr. 76.9.88.87.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN PTR 87\032-\03288-9-76.abo.bbox.fr. 76.9.88.87.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN PTR 87-88-9-76.abo.bbox.fr. 77.9.88.87.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN PTR 87-88-9-77.abo.bbox.fr. 77.9.88.87.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN PTR 87-\03288-9-77.abo.bbox.fr. 77.9.88.87.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN PTR 87\032-\03288-9-77.abo.bbox.fr. Also, three PTRS per IP? Shrug. Anyway, if anyone has a contact I'd love to poke them and see what the deal is, or if you just want to nudge them and make sure they fix things, that'd work, too.
