I know that the zones are located in the VAR/NAMED directory, but where are the reverse pointers located? Thanks peoples...
 
Hi,

They are pointed to via /etc/named.conf in exactly the same way as forward zone files. For example :

zone "1.0.10.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "domain.com.rr.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

(That would be a reverse dns for the 10.0.1.0 subnet . )

So, both forward and reverse zone files would be physically in /var/named (or whatever other 'directory' is listed under options in /etc/named.conf).


Hope this helps
