Why not. Just create a zone file with the host addresses, and a
--------------
named.conf section on master:
--------------
zone "0.0.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "master/inaddr-arpa.zone";
};
--------------
named.conf section on slave:
--------------
zone "0.0.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type slave;
masters { 10.0.0.1; }; ; put the IP address of your master here
file "slave/inaddr-arpa.zone";
};
--------------
zone file inadd-arpa.zone:
--------------
$TTL 1h ; default TTL of existant entries
@ IN SOA ns.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. (
2010082300 ; Serial Number
1h ; secondary refresh - 1 hour
15m ; secondary retry - 15 min
28d ; secondary expire - 28 days
3h ; TTL of negative cache
)
IN NS ns.example.com.
IN NS server.example.org.
;;
1 IN PTR arbol.example.com.
;; 2 spare
;; 3 spare
4 IN PTR poblano.example.com.
5 IN PTR capsicum.example.com.
----------------
Obviously the 10.x.x.x is an example address. I've learned the hard way
never to give live examples. Someone invariably cuts-and-pastes it into
somewhere that eventually comes back to haunt me.
