Delegating in-addr.arpa for subnetted address space

[thorin at digitalvoodoo.org (thorin)]

I guess I was lucky as the changes were implemented within an hour of my
request.  6 hours to fully propagate...

I had more trouble with our corporate "DNS Admin" than with our ISP.
Ended up giving him the mods to make on the primary DNS... Scary.  I
never knew setting up a slave for a zone could be so troublesome....

There's also a good chance that the guy doing the work on the other end
won't understand what you're talking about if you ask him to do that for
you.  Paul and I once spent about a half an hour explaining what a glue
record is to our ISP's "DNS expert" support tech.  We eventually had to
e-mail him the record we wanted them to create. Evidently he'd never
dealt with subdomains before...

[For those unfamiliar with the term, the NS record above is a glue
record -- one way to think if it is that it "glues" delegated zones to
the parent zone.]
