I have a reverse lookup zone file configuration as follows: zone "0/24.110.252.173.in-addr.arpa" { type forward; forward only; forwarders {10.10.96.1;}; };
When I do dig -x 172.252.110.27, I expect it to forward it to 10.10.96.1, but instead, it uses the default resolver. Am I missing something. The address space 173.252.110.0/24 matches 255 address ranging from 173.252.110.0-255. So if DNS Server X is configured against this zone , then any reverse DNS request for 173.252.110.0-173.252.110.255 should be forwarded via DNS Server X Currently this is not the case. There is no forwarding in the above scenario ( where CIDR notation x.x.x.x/Mask is used) . All requests are forwarded via global resolver only Although a reverse lookup x.x.x.x/Mask does route through DNS Server X but this does not seem to be valid QNAME format for PTR queries. Only when the zone file is changed to zone "110.252.173.in-addr.arpa" IN { type forward; forwarders {10.10.96.1;}; forward only; }; All the requests for 173.252.110.0-173.252.110.255 is forwarded to 10.10.96.1.
