- We have a nameserver for a subdomain, and the nameserver one level
- above us knows enough about us to be able to correctly resolve names,
- but not addresses. (i.e. the server above us has an NS record with
- our nameserver listed to resolve all names with our domain postfix).
- Does anyone happen to know the syntax necessary to make the
- nameserver above us send ADDRESS requests to our nameserver as well?
- (A gethostbyname on a foreign host is successful, but then taking
- that addr and trying to gethostbyaddr is NOT successful.)
