I don't think you could use that with an external DNS, 172.16.0.0 is one of the private LAN IP ranges, and shouldn't be able to traverse a network. Public and private IP address ranges Class A: 10.0.0.0 — 10.255.255.255. Class B: 172.16.0.0 — 172.31.255.255. Class C: 192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255. Of course they could have one of /those/ service providers which do NATing and don't give their clients public IPs, but they're uncommon. At least that range has about one million available addresses, class C only has about sixty-five thousand addresses (might not be enough for a very large ISP). But generally speaking, anybody using those IP addresses needs to run a nameserver of some kind within their own LAN. -- uname -rsvp Linux 5.11.22-100.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 19 18:58:25 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
