[lug] Reverse DNS problems

[Justin]

Hmm, I'd be interested to know how you are going to troubleshoot this 
on your end. I know dns fairly well, I think, but I'm not too good with 
the nitty gritty, this could be good info for the future. Anyways, here 
is the ip range I am using. 
206.247.117.71 thru 206.247.117.76
Supposedly my friends dns server is supposed to have authority for the 
reverse lookups (ns.angrytechie.com) but my dns server 
(ns.jackmoves.com) also has the reverse zone info. So you can query 
either of those to find out what the revese lookups "should" resolve 
too. Thanks again for any help...
