Hi, Subnets of class C networks are NOT treated differently in the in-addr.arpa. domain. In fact, you must place all your entries in the appropriate "243.138.128.in-addr.arpa." file. If you aren't administering this level of file, then you must contact your parent and have them do the update. In my situation, I am managing the primary domain name server which is a secondary name server for the reverse lookups. Hope this helps, Khalid. Khalid Mohiuddin Helix Consulting khalidm@interlog.com
