ewww god bind even allows it ugly ugly ugly
in /etc/bind/named.conf I added a ipaddress as a domain and was able
to use it like expected.
zone "127.0.0.1" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/test";
};
test.127.0.0.1. IN A 127.0.0.1
and an nslookup worked as expected
nslookup test.127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Name: test.127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1
