It should be a problem with the delegation of authority over your <rev-IP-ADDR>.in-addr.arpa zone, not your name server setup. If your IP address is AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD, say the following: > dig @ns.internic.net NS DDD.CCC.BBB.AAA.in-addr.arpa. Then, pick up any nameserver from the list following 'AUTHORITY RECORDS' headline and query that nameserver, replacing ns.internic.net by the nameserver's name. And on, and on, and on... until you get 'no such name' answer. Then, contact the hostmaster of that nameserver to correct the delegation table. Good luck Val <val@greatis.com>
