[afnog] Setting up DNS server for Reverse Delegation

[Noa of Ark]

Hi Liban,

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Actually i fianlly managedto deal with all this matters. AfriNIC was of grate heal but my upstream providers were a pain in the ass.They refused to host reverse 
lookup for the same ip subnet.

When i asked them to reverse delegate the ip block they had allocated me tomy dns servers they refused but they did accept to create PTR records for only my second name server which uses an ip from the same block.

I reverse delegatd my other ip subnet from afrinic though by creating reverse zone records in both my dns servers and all was good.

 I am not using pine nor exchange. I am just using BIND 9 on unix and linux boxes. I find Bind more easier for me to work with because i have been using it for dns services for sometime.

But i will try pine though for the CNAME stuff you are suggesting.

Best regards,

Maina Noah.

Would like to do host the reverse look up your self, few things i would point out:

1-  Make sure the IP is swipped to you
2- Ask your ISP to point your IP block to your NS
3- If they don't want or can't, then ask them to forward your block  to your NS, and then you can create the PTR entry. 
4- Make them host the reverse look-up, 
5- I am not sure if you using pine or exchange, but i know pine is more forgiven, and can use CNAME, if the block is not /24

Hope this @least points you do the right direction,
