I need to forward/delegate IN-ADDR.ARPA reverse name service.  I have 
O'Rielys book on DNS and BIND, but the delegation examples there show how 
to delegate a class C net from a class B net.  We have a CIDR block of 
eight class c network addresses.  Sprint has delegated the IN-ADDR.APRA 
service to my primary and secondary name servers.  When I re-assigned the 
class c address to one of my clients, I asked Sprint to change the 
IN-ADDR.ARPA mapping to point the my clients nameserver, and they told me 
that I need to forward/delegate it to them myself.  Anybody, know how to 
do this?  

It looked like I might be able to use the forwarder directive in the 
named.boot, but I am having trouble understanding how it works.

I looked for a more generic newsgroup to post to, but all the 
networking groups appear to be OS specific.  Any suggestions on other 
newsgroups to post to for help?
