.arpa is called reverse lookup for a reason. So what you have is correct. The ip address is transposed, reversed, for all reverse entries. Check out the DNS howto to learn a bit more. I recommend you not play with DNS until you are more conversant with exactly how it works. -----Original Message----- From: Pablo Allietti [mailto:pabloa@inia.org.uy] Sent: Fri, December 13, 2002 8:08 AM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: DNS problem Hi me and my PROBLEMS again!
