Re: reverse dns - fully qualified zone



Hi, I spoke to paetec and although the tech wasn't too knowledgeable, he did
setup a reverse zone since they own 64.80. With that I would say that my
win2k reverse zone may of only worked internally on the network since the
real world record for 64.80 is set for paetec.
Thanks for the help guys.
