Hi,

Just configuring a new Intel Xserve, and am having fun with Server
Admin's DNS interface. I'm used to Webmin (under Panther Server), and
I can't believe how minimal the Server Admin DNS interface is.

It's minimal to discourage you from using it ;)

Something I've noticed is that it's creating PTR records.

Yes, they are a requirement for FQDNs and for Mac OS X.

 It shouldn't
be,

Yes it should.

 should it, since we aren't authoritative for the Class C that
we're on?

There haven't been class IP blocks issues for ages. We use CIDR now.

Moreover this demonstrates that you should refresh yourself on how DNS operates.

What CIDR block do you have?
