Hoping I can get a walk through in simple terms, but also a pointer to some docs where I can dive into the details. I think I am finding what I want in the docs, but those docs come up 404 since the isc site changed things a bit, from there, I generally can not locate the old doc file.

1) Is it possible to determine what ip range/space has been given to user of that IP space? For example, in a colocation environment, I am given say, a /24, and I want to look that up and see if it really is a /24. I have found the -x option which is making life a lot easier to find PTR records.

2) Given an IP that does not have a PTR, how do I determine if it has been "sub delegated" (?) to the user of that IP? I need to learn whether or not I need to contact the IP provider, and ask for a PTR record, or if I need to add one in myself.


I was thinking and testing, and I believe I can answer part of my own question, but please correct and advise where I am wrong.

Given an ip of 64.84.37.2
$dig -x 64.84.37.2
        2.37.84.64.in-addr.arpa. 3589   IN      PTR     capone.hostwizard.com.

So I clearly have a PTR, but I want to see who has been delegated control of the PTR.
Dropping the trailing 2
$dig 37.84.64.in-addr.arpa NS
        37.84.64.in-addr.arpa.  3538    IN      NS      ns1.nacio.com.
        37.84.64.in-addr.arpa.  3538    IN      NS      ns3.nacio.com.
        37.84.64.in-addr.arpa.  3538    IN      NS      ns2.nacio.com.

This to me looks like nacio.com in this case is going to control the PTR zones?

I can go to arin.net and do a lookup there, and find that I have been dished out a /26, how do I use dig to get that same answer?

Thanks again.
