Hi
Wondering if anyone has some contact with FTC or Nexband or whoever. I
can't find
Someone without clue has decided it's a good idea to make almost all
of 66.211.112.0/20 share the same PTR record. This has bad
consequences, and is beginning to irritate me.
[coffee ~]$ host 66.211.118.239
239.118.211.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer adsl.fultontelephone.net.
[coffee ~]$ host 66.211.118.221
221.118.211.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer adsl.fultontelephone.net.
[coffee ~]$ host adsl.fultontelephone.net | wc -l
4044
In the real world, the result is more like:
[coffee ~]$ dig +short adsl.fultontelephone.net A
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
dig: dns_rdata_totext: ran out of space
So yeah... if someone wants to correct that, it would be great.
And if everyone else in the world can please not EVER do something
like this, that would also be good.
