Reverse DNS will be provided by the organization that delegated the subnet. The x.in-addr.arpa resolution is directed to whoever obtained the block. If reverse DNS for a particular block should point elsewhere, it's a pain. It's simpler to inform your ISP (or whoever) of the PTR entries desired for reverse resolution. Forward resolution can be easily pointed at any machine you wish, which you specify when registering a domain. Your ISP (or whoever) should be able to pull zone transfers from your DNS server if you wish to have them provide secondary lookup services. If this is not available, check out: http://www.granitecanyon.com . If you are referring on how to join two IPv4 subnets into a single network, You have a few options: 1. You can multihome a Linux box and turn it into a router by adding: -> echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward <- ...to your /etc/init.d/network to have it toss the packets for you. Your ISP (or whoever) will need to setup the routing at their end to reflect this. 2. Change your subnet mask and adjust the upstream router to reflect the larger subnet. You are using contiguous networks, so this shouldn't be a problem. Maybe I'm not understanding your question. It wasn't too clear what exactly you were trying to do. -- Kevin Blackham 801-539-0852 XMission Internet 877-XMISSION [EMAIL PROTECTED] 877-964-7746 http://www.xmission.com/help
