mydns creates by it self ptr records for records it is aware of what mydns is not aware of is the subnet that the records belong to eg. if I own subnet 192.168.1.32 with netmask 255.255.255.224 mydns will create a zone like this 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. but this is wrong because I don't belong the whole class c subnet if I try to modify the zone with the right one which is 32/27.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. I get what would the valid format be?
ARPA-zones are always delegated in class C networks (/24 or 256 addresses) or bigger. There is no way to divide this into smaller subnets. If you don't own the whole /24 subnet, or (as in my case once) the APRA-delegation is not correctly set to your NS, contact the ARPA-administrator or your LIR (Local Internet Registrar). The correct person can be difficult to trace, but this command should set you on their track: dig +trace -x ipaddress (dig +trace -x 192.168.1.32) Paul
@tebokkel after some reading I realized you are right thanx after a conversation with my isp I made a zone that isn't working the zone name is eg. "32/27.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." my isp tries to import this zone into his dns (he is using bind) but he gets "Transfer failed." my iptables is off and I have my isp dns servers into "Allow zone transfers to these IPs (comma separated list)" what could be wrong ??
I've tried from another server that I have ispconfig installed to fetch the zone but I get in /etc/mydns.conf I have allow-axfr = yes where xx.xx.xx.xx = ipaddress of the server running mydns + mydnsconfig
