Two questions...
Who actually manages the reverse lookup domains? We got a bunch of subnets
from our ISP, and I set up a primary name server, which works fine. If you
do a whois query, mine is listed, along with the ISP's, and they do a zone
transfer every day. So far so good. I also set up ccc.bbb.aaa.in-addr.arpa
as a primary zone on my name server and maintain it. Are you saying that
this should be registered? It seems to work, as mail programs that do a
reverse lookup as an anti-spam check seem to go through OK. Who should it
be registered with?
Second, I always meant to ask someone... how do you do a reverse lookup, to
find the host and domain name associated with an IP address? I know it can
be done programatically, but is there a command line utility, like whois?
