Strange bind RDNS behavior


Hi All,

I've configured a couple of RDNS zones in bind, but I'm getting some very strange output.

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;238.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR

;; ANSWER SECTION:
238.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR smtp.mydomain.com.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa.

As you can see in the 'answer' section, it's appending the ".xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa" to the PTR.

Is there something I'm missing that's causing this?

Thanks
Anubis.

It means you left the '.' off the end of the PTR records in your zone file. They aren't optional.

Hi Smallpond;

Wow, that's doh! moment. All the other had that except the one I was looking at, must have overlooked it.

Thanks very much.
Anubis.
