wrote one of those yesterday, for this I had no questions asked.


Please deligate ptr records to 66.250.170.210 and 65.84.93.74
for 69.31.83.171 and 66.250.170.208-215

(I think this is everything you need if you run bind on class c)

$ORIGIN 170.250.66.in-addr.arpa.
$GENERATE 208-215 $ NS $
$GENERATE 208-215 $ NS $
$GENERATE 208-215 $ A 66.250.170.210
$GENERATE 208-215 $ A 65.84.93.74

$ORIGIN 83.31.69.in-addr.arpa.
171.83.31.69.in-addr.arpa NS 171.83.31.69.in-addr.arpa
171.83.31.69.in-addr.arpa NS 171.83.31.69.in-addr.arpa
171.83.31.69.in-addr.arpa A 66.250.170.210
171.83.31.69.in-addr.arpa A 65.84.93.74


and as for being OT, I don't think so. my feeling is dns (and good
names) is the cornerstone of a good installation.
