Are you sure that they OWN the block opposed to the ISP owning it? If they really own the block, check out www.internic.net. Otherwise, they will have to ask their ISP to registrate the reverse DNS for them. Try ftp to ftp.funet.fi, I beleive it complains when reverse dns is missing and direct you to some interesting documents. > 162.208.in-addr.arpa > origin = ns.cw.net > mail addr = hostmaster.cw.net > serial = 1999012001 > refresh = 3600 (1H) > retry = 600 (10M) > expire = 3600000 (5w6d16h) > minimum ttl = 3600 (1H) Looks like you're missing a "24" somewhere. The arpa line should be 24.162.208.in-addr.arpa (for your C class). Good luck! /Allan -- Allan M. Wind Phone: 781.938.5272 (home) 687 Main St., 2nd fl.
