Haaaa... that was what I needed. Many thanks for hanging in there. I managed to confuse myself quite a lot on this. I thought to do that (go up one level and use 1 reverse file. db.192.168) it meant I needed to set up the domain that way to. That is, use 192.168/16 addressing for my domain local.lan. So all lan netmasks become 255.255.0.0. And I had found that is a very complicated way to set things up. Also leads to prolems with each machine (the ones with 2 nics) not knowing who is supposed to do what. Then requiring speciallized routes to be set so 192.168.1.1 knows to call 192.168.1.2 without going thru default gw of 192.168.0.20. Down that path, just about all of it is a few jumps above my head. So I had scrapped that notion thinking both bind setup and network setup would need all that complication to go that way. After setting up bind as you suggested with one main Pointer file. (not counting db.127.0.0) Scrapping db.192.168.0 and db.192.168.1 in favor of: db.192.168 Right away nslookup knows who 192.169.1.2 is and dig shows the glorious output... ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> -x 192.168 axfr ;; global options: printcmd 168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN SOA reader.local.lan. reader.reader.local.lan. 200405190 28800 14400 2419200 86400 168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN NS reader.local.lan. 16.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR bjp.local.lan. 19.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR fwobsd.local.lan. 20.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR fw.local.lan. 21.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR ansil.local.lan. 22.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR harvey.local.lan. 3.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR mob2.local.lan. 4.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR reader.local.lan. 50.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR wap.local.lan. 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR fwodmz.local.lan. 2.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR rdmz.local.lan. 168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN SOA reader.local.lan. reader.reader.local.lan. 200405190 28800 14400 2419200 86400 ;; Query time: 1 msec ;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) ;; WHEN: Sun Mar 5 09:50:15 2006 ;; XFR size: 13 records (messages 1) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
