The entries in the ADDITIONAL SECTION below are ``glue records'' for the NS records in the ANSWER SECTION. The problem you have, however, DNS resolvers are going to have to make a lot of additional DNS requests to be able to determine if the glue can be used. For the glue to be immediately trusted, it would have to be in-bailiwick (e.g. ns1.0-15.66.233.212.in-addr.arpa and ns2.0-15.66.233.212.in-addr.arpa). But, At any rate, there you have it, glue is found in the ADDITIONAL SECTION: $ dig ptr 1.0-15.66.233.212.in-addr.arpa @ns1.agtel.net ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> ptr 1.0-15.66.233.212.in-addr.arpa @ns1.agtel.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 37069 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 6, ADDITIONAL: 7 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;1.0-15.66.233.212.in-addr.arpa.
