That's pretty much it, I'd say. Either they need to delegate authority for your subnet to your DNS servers, or they need to establish PTR records for your IP addresses. Some ISPs do this without charge, but don't count on it - a lot of ISPs are using the "extras" to make up for the money they lose in bandwidth fees. However, for simple PTR records, the charge should not be exorbitant - usually a "one time charge".... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
