The whole name for 2001:1930:c00::2 should be: 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.C.0.0.3.9.1.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA In your origin above you lost a "0" right of the "c". The ":c00:" chunk is actually ":0c00:", so the correct origin is: 0.0.0.0.0.0.c.0.0.3.9.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa in which the PTR RR would be: 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 IN PTR www.example.com ________________________________________________________________________ Jay Ford, Network Engineering Group, Information Technology Services University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 email: jay-f...@uiowa.edu, phone: 319-335-5555, fax: 319-335-2951 _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
