We are having a small problem with gethostbyaddr... It doesn't work. Currently most of our stuff is recompiled to work with the host table, but for obvious reasons we would like to get this fixed. The problem seems to be in the .rev files for named. We have quite a few subnets, and had one file for each, and it (gethostbyaddr) was working fine but the configuration would crash the nameserver... The documentation I have is of no use. Does anyone have a WORKING set of .rev files (and the boot file) for multiple subnets that I could see? -Chris Welty weltyc@cs.rpi.edu

For subscription send to bind-request@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu. The examples in the BIND distribution (anonymous ftp from ucbarpa pub/bind.tar) are working examples. Also, the examples in "Name Server Operations Guide for BIND" are working examples. Have you read this document found in the 4.3BSD System Manager's Manual?
