To tie off a loose end, here are my absolutely unhidden IPs:
38.101.176.193 - Netopia R4522 router
38.101.176.194 - SonicWALL TZ170 WAN
38.101.176.195 - Tiger Server
38.101.176.196 - Tiger Server (QTSS only)
38.101.176.197 - allocated for Windows 2000 Server
38.101.176.198 - allocated for Windows 200 Server
38.101.176.198 - SonicWALL TZ170 LAN
Hopefully that addresses whether or not all of my devices (and the other ones with sequentially higher IP addresses than the TZ170 LAN for the last block) fall within the 38.101.176.192/26 CIDR block.
Now, for what I have changed the subject line to. I have the SonicWALL TZ170 functioning. I have only one (1) IP behind it at the moment. Within the administration interface of the TZ170 is a Reverse Name Resolution function. I thought I would try it. I discovered that when I tried to complete a Reverse Name Resolution for our Tiger Server that this administration interface did not produce a result. Knowing that I had requested our ISP to create a PTR record for the Tiger Server, I proceeded to dnsstuff.com and ran their Reverse DNS lookup function. It returned the expected results. Further inspection of the results from dnsstuff.com shows that the servers it is obtaining the results from are 38.8.48.2 and 38.8.50.2. The DNS servers I have specified on all of our devices, including the TZ170, are 66.28.0.45 and 66.28.0.61.
Knowing that when I upgrade our Tiger Server to v10.4.6 or .7 that it will require a FQDN, I propose this question. Should I be concerned that the DNS servers I am specifying on our network devices (including the Network preference pane on the Tiger Server) are not the ones that provide the response to a Reverse Name Resolution query?
Thanks for reading!
