Message-ID: <1992Sep10.215107.26211@mintaka.lcs.mit.edu> Date: 10 Sep 92 21:51:07 GMT Sender: news@mintaka.lcs.mit.edu Organization: MIT Laboratory for Computer Science Lines: 19 We have a nameserver for a subdomain, and the nameserver one level above us knows enough about us to be able to correctly resolve names, but not addresses. (i.e. the server above us has an NS record with our nameserver listed to resolve all names with our domain postfix). Does anyone happen to know the syntax necessary to make the nameserver above us send ADDRESS requests to our nameserver as well? (A gethostbyname on a foreign host is successful, but then taking that addr and trying to gethostbyaddr is NOT successful.) Posting here is cool, or if you feel like it, please reply to: bild@ncm.interlan.com Thanks bunches... bild -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Patti | feoh@gnu.ai.mit.edu: A guest of the Free Software Foundation =========#include <gratuitous_witty_quotes_section_to_waste_bandwidth>========= "War is a symphony of destruction, orchestrated by few, paid for by many."
