Re: [PLUG] DNS Reverse Mappings

Thanks Bill,
That is what I though. I have been running without reverse for years and
no one has complained. My connection with Microserve is via someone else
who has a Class C and he is either to lazy or does not want to register
anything. At this point I say why bother. But I did want to understand how
that could be done with a provider if I had one static IP instead of
access to the class C, like I do now. You answered my question.
I can see how nameserving could be a full time job for at least one person
in a moderate size ISP!
And just perhaps this thread could be of help to others on PLUG in the
future.
