      IBM AIX 4.1.4 with the shipped BIND 4.9.3 and resolver library has

Hi
There is at least one operating system, where this method described in
draft-degroot-classless-inaddr-00.txt, and supposed by RIPE, does not
work.  It is FreeBSD. Their resolver libarary cannot handle CNAME answers
for PTR queries. In their case you just see on console something like:
