Dave, setting up your own Reverse pointer is will not work unless that Reverse Ip lookup is reffered to your own dns servers.
It is similar to a domain name. You specify the dns name servers for your domain name while registering. and use these servers to host the dns records for your domain. Similarly, the Ip address (static or dynamic) allocated to you should also have an entry in the arin or apnic or etc database. If the Reverse PTR delegation has been delegated to the ISP, then The ISP has to re-delegate it to your DNS servers. or simply adding a ptr record for that Ip address in their dns servers. anil "Dave Culbertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > If he has a static IP and decides to run his own DNS and if he owns his domain name, he could setup Simple DNS (as I did reciently).
