I've just joined this list, so please be gentle with any RTFMs you might wish to flame me with .... I have set up an isolated DNS community, but would like to check that I have set things up correctly. We have a number of registered IP networks connected by bridges. Most of the domains are below cam.ac.uk, but we also have cam-orl.co.uk and cam.sri.com (aka sri.co.uk). Are there any other sites running a similar setup who could spare a few messages to check that I have got things set up correctly ? My main concerns are: 1) Is there any reason to have NSs for the (empty) intervening domains (i.e. uk, ac.uk, co.uk, com, sri.com) ? 2) The Ultrix documentation mentions having "muliple primary servers". Is this correct ? 3) If a netmask is set to 255.255.255.128, is it possible to delegate a reverse IP map to each subnet, or would the two sunbets which shared the class C range have to cooperate in managing a single map ? 4) are there problems with sharing the map for cam.sri.com. with sri.co.uk. ?
