The first I saw it, I was also surprised. Plesantly surprised. These days I wonder why we don't see it more often?? It is named Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation Quoting introduction from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2317 This document describes a way to do IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation on non- octet boundaries for address spaces covering fewer than 256 addresses. The proposed method should thus remove one of the objections to subnet on non-octet boundaries but perhaps more significantly, make it possible to assign IP address space in smaller chunks than 24-bit prefixes, without losing the ability to delegate authority for the corresponding IN-ADDR.ARPA mappings. The proposed method is fully compatible with the original DNS lookup mechanisms Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
