I wonder can someone explain what the "primary" line in named.boot
should look like for a network with a netmask that doesn't end on
an octet boundry.

For a class C, I'd have

primary my.domain my.zone.file
primary 1.2.3.IN-ADDR.ARPA my.rev.file

If I have a netmask of 255.255.255.128 for example, how should the
IN-ADDR.ARPA line read ?

TIA.
