[lug] gethostbyaddr Error

[John Hernandez]

You can ask the people who administer the accessone.com nameservers to
do that, but I'm not sure if they'll comply.

157.118.204.in-addr.arpa	nameserver = ns2.accessone.com
157.118.204.in-addr.arpa	nameserver = ns1.accessone.com

If you're running a name server, you could make it master for
157.118.204.in-addr.arpa and point your clients at it.  In your zone
file, do something like:

$GENERATE 1-255 $ PTR 204-118-157-$.accessone.com.

Of course, as soon as you get this working, they'll probably move you to
a different subnet ;)
