I find his statement about routed dumping core more interesting.

I made an interesting discovery with tcpdump the other day. When first
fired up, routed does a 'nslookup -type=PTR 205.xxx.xxx.0' to try to find
what router to deal with for the network (if defined in gateways). I
never realized that we should have a '0' entry in the in-addr.arpa
definitions!!

Tom
