Delegating reverse DNS to a customer

2009-08-18 Thread Tim Huffman
Guys, We're a smallish (but growing) ISP, and we've been asked by one of our customers to delegate reverse DNS for 63.250.251.0/24 to their DNS servers, ns1.emns.com - ns4.emns.com. Unfortunately, we've never had to delegate DNS to a customer before, and we're having problems getting it to work

The issue is probably that you need to delegate the 251.250.63.in-addr.arpa to your client in the 250.63.in-addr.arpa zone. If you load 251.250.63.in-addr.arpa to try and delegate it, your servers will answer for it because they load it. Think of it in the same mind of delegating a forward subdoma

Right now, I don't have a zone 250.63.in-addr.arpa (I only have the individual zones for each class C, 224.250.63.in-addr.arpa, 225.250.63.in-addr.arpa, and so on). So I need to create the zone 250.63.in-addr.arpa? I want to make sure that won't break my other reverse DNS zones... Thanks for yo

Since the CIDR block you have been allocated containing 63.250.251.0/24 is smaller than a /16, ARIN is delegating authority for the IN-ADDR.ARPA zones for each of your /24's directly to your dns servers. In order for your customer's dns servers to be authoritative for 251.250.63.IN-ADDR.ARPA, you'
