in-addr.arpa question
I have a client who is now peering with BBN. BBN supplied a /30 as follows: 207.112.240.113 is their side via a company they purchased called Nap.Net. The DNS shows: NChicago2-core0.nap.net Thats ok. The other side is the customer colo router and the IP of 207.112.240.114 shows: chi2-vts.ianet.net Now I claim that the domain ianet.net (based on Internic data) is some company in WV and has nothing to do with us (ianet is the customer name we were assigned by BBN). BBN claims that is this their "standard naming convention" for assigning customer interface names. Traceroutes will show up with ianet.net in the path. I claim this is in violation of some RFC. Am I wrong? There may be many such PTR records within BBN for "customername.net". Thanks, Hank

BBN is confused. They should change it to a moniker that is acceptable to the customer. ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If ianet.net is taken by someone other than the customer, they have an obligation (sorry, not RFC mandated) to represent it correctly. I could go on, but why. BBN still thinks they invented tcp/ip. Ehud

Hello All, I take it that Hank is a customer of GTE/BBN ? if so, let Hank talk to them . If Hank doesn't know about it talk to Hank. Right ? Hth, JimL On Wed, 11 Aug 1999, Randy Bush wrote:

it is not gte's customer but rather a peer. it's hank's customer. i.e. they are not paying gte money. so the they have no leverage.
