[Pdns-users] Rdns Delegate @ Ripe

Hi All,

Ripe does need to delegate the RDNS for an IP-block to my own DNS-servers.
They have told me that one of the DNS-servers was not authorative for the
delegate. I have discussed this with the company that is giving me the
IP-space but they can't tell what is happening. As far as we can see it's
te following that I need. I have made an example of the addr.arpa of
XS4ALL.

What I need is this:

> 21.109.194.in-addr.arpa.
Server:  ns.xs4all.nl
Address:  194.109.6.67

21.109.194.in-addr.arpa
        primary name server = ns.xs4all.nl
        responsible mail addr = hostmaster.xs4all.nl
        serial  = 2005100600
        refresh = 21600 (6 hours)
        retry   = 7200 (2 hours)
        expire  = 604800 (7 days)
        default TTL = 86400 (1 day)
21.109.194.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns.xs4all.nl
21.109.194.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns2.xs4all.nl
ns.xs4all.nl    internet address = 194.109.6.67
ns2.xs4all.nl   internet address = 194.109.9.100


What I get here is:

> 21.109.194.in-addr.arpa.
Server:  ns.xs4all.nl
Address:  194.109.6.67

21.109.194.in-addr.arpa
        primary name server = ns.xs4all.nl
        responsible mail addr = hostmaster.xs4all.nl
        serial  = 2005100600
        refresh = 21600 (6 hours)
        retry   = 7200 (2 hours)
        expire  = 604800 (7 days)
        default TTL = 86400 (1 day)


OK, I'm missing these lines at my nslookup:

21.109.194.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns.xs4all.nl
21.109.194.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns2.xs4all.nl
ns.xs4all.nl    internet address = 194.109.6.67
ns2.xs4all.nl   internet address = 194.109.9.100

It looks like they are in the SOA-record but that is not possible off
course. I was reading some documentation
(http://www.tac.nyc.ny.us/cgi-bin/rfc?2317) about this and I think I have
to go "outside" of the addr.arpa domain with CNAME-records and go to the
domain where the addr.arpa belongs to and point to the DNS-servers there.

OK, that is as far as I can get it at the moment. The problem is.... is
this possible with PDNS ? I think it can, but how ?

I'm using PowerAdmin as frontend, but I think it has nothing to do with it.

Can anybode give me some words that can get me out of this problem ?
