Hi everybody,

today, I successfully set up a Dachstein box. On the router, I'm running
tinydns and dnscache to replace our (private) DNS server (which was Bind - I
guess I don't need to tell anybody why I wanted to switch). 

Thanks to Jacques' excellent documentation, setting tinydns up was pretty
simple (except for the part below). 

One thing that took us quite a while was to figure out why reverse lookups
didn't work on the internal net. The way we finally got it to work was to
declare all entries in  /etc/tinydns-private/root/data as PTRs. 

For example 
=example1.private.network:192.168.1.1 
instead of 
+example1.private.network:192.168.1.1

Now, my question is, is that actually correct? If so, I guess it would be a
good idea to add a reference to that to the docs (I know there's a PTR in
the sample, but since that referred to the router name, we assumed that
there was something special about that - remember, I'm surely a "DNS
newbie"). 

And if I'm wrong with my guess, I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions on
how to make reverse lookups work "properly". 

Martin
