i just got a dedicated server from a datacenter, they gave me 128 ips....and authorise my nameserver to do reverse name addressing to them (only 128 ips)....however, i don't know how should i set my in-addr.arpa to be like ...

Do i set it to be XXX.XXX.XXX.in-addr.arpa. (which shows i have full access to do reverse ip addressing for the entire class C zone) or is there another way? Do I need to implement "CLASSLESS ip addressing" ?

Please advise..as I will need to get this going!

Here is my current settings:-

=============
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA nameserver.verztec.com. hostmaster.verztec.com. (
2001042101
8H
2H
1W
1D )

IN NS nameserver.verztec.com.
IN NS ns.myhostpartner.com.

14 IN PTR nameserver.verztec.com.
===============

Thanks!

Keep in mind, the *.*.*.in-addr.arpa is backwords.

eg:
if I owned the subnet 23.123.1.*
I would set it up like this
in my named.conf it would be like this

zone "1.123.23.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "23.123.1"; (to stop me from being confused :)
};

you had the rest of it right :)
if you need any more help, ask :)
