I have been struggling with Reverse DNS and bind 9 on a RedHat 7.3 system.

When I do a dig -x 12.XX.XX.XX I get get an odd message that doesn't seem
right! Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> -x
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 2
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; 176.20.151.12.in-addr.arpa, type = ANY, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
176.20.151.12.in-addr.arpa. 1d23h37m27s IN CNAME 176.128/25.20.151.12.in-addr.arpa.

If you notice it is showing A CNAME instead of PTR I know for a Fact the
7.3 box's zone file is not in error that way! is it possible ATT has that
in a Zone file of there own?

TIA
Brian

Did they delegate the zone for you?

Quite possibly not! The IP's allocated Are kinda third party so it is hard
to tell! I will have to work on it.

I have kinda been thrown in as Admin with little contact info or
assistance ! Thanx!
