What is happening here is that Ameritech/SBC is using CNAMEs to delegate on other than Class A/B/C boundaries. >Is this the correct response, or have they not quite done the delegation >correctly? They actually have done it correctly. In this case, you would set up a PTR record for 3.0.199.42.65.in-addr.arpa, which would be the reverse DNS entry for 65.42.199.3. It's a bit confusing, but works. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
