[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] QUESTION on how to set up reverse mapping for subnets

ernest@tandem.com (Ernest Hua) (10/24/90)

Here is an example of a net with a subnet:

                  |
                  |
             199.99.44.1
             199.99.55.1
                  |
  ----------------------------------
  |               |                |
  |               |                |
199.99.55.*  199.99.66.*      199.99.77.2
                                   |
                                   |
                              199.99.77.*

199.99.44.1 (inside address is 199.99.55.1) is the name server.  What if I
want to have, say 199.99.77.88, visible by reverse name resolution (address
to name mapping)?  What is the proper way to set things up?  Assuming that
I don't really want any other 199.99.77.* hosts to be visible via reverse
mapping, except maybe 199.99.77.2 (only if that's necessary).

Please E mail replies to ernest@tandem.com.
