Bill I am confused. IN-ADDR.ARPA is inherently hierarchical so it should
scale really nicely. and I thought that only PTR records were used in it:
192.136.150.1 in ptr home.hou.tx.us.
Where in:
$ORIGIN hou.tx.us.
home in a 192.136.150.1
in cname wcmgate.sesqui.net.
But maybe this is not a 3-letter domain issue. But I think it is. I will
have more on this soon. I guess I'd better join namedroppers fast...
