hello misc@

I am in need of some guidance, I am trying to convert our name servers
from Windows 2000 DNS to OpenBSD named
I put this name server up last October and it has worked great, or at
least i thought it did.

now that I am trying to host a mail server, I found out my reverse
lookup is not working correctly

we have a /25 ip block on our T1

here is my trouble, if i use nslookup from a computer that is set to
use my name server(ns.wiscdns.com)
my output is as follows:

Sam# nslookup 12.192.128.135
Server:         12.192.128.131
Address:        12.192.128.131#53

135.128.192.12.in-addr.arpa     name = pop3.DigitalDataWeb.Com.


however if I change my name server to a local ISP (that I do not use
for service)

my output is as follows

Sam$ nslookup 12.192.128.135
Server:         209.103.196.2
Address:        209.103.196.2#53

** server can't find 135.128.192.12.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN


I copied all of my named config files in a directory on a webserver
along with a dmesg located here
http://www.puffybsd.com/named/

I assume that if I want to host email for 10 different domains I have
to have these set

allow-recursion { any; };
auth-nxdomain yes;

I am open to any suggestions anyone has, because this is my first set
of BSD based name servers
I do not have a 2nd name server setup yet I just need to do some more
reading and figure out how they are different.


as always Thank you very much for your help
