We were having a small problem here and I traced it down to a reverse DNS
lookup on a 172.16 address hanging.
I noticed that a.root-servers.net reports that BLACKHOLE.ISI.EDU is
authoritative for 16.172.in-addr.arpa.
Is this the way it should be, or is the yet another network solutions
mistake? Who should really handle DNS for rfc1918 addresses?
