Hi Hank, The Internic is fighting an overload problem (sounds familiar, doesn't it?), and wants you to set up 114.192.in-addr.arpa yourself, so you can do the rest of the delegations yourself without Internic involvement. This will of course be faster for new delegations, so it is also beneficial to you. The message might be confusing because the Internic didn't realize the exact situation; the message itself is normally sent to people in the US asking for reverse delegation. Nevertheless, I think delegation of the block is still a good idea. Unless there are problems, I suggest you go ahead and set up the block delegations. The RIPE NCC is willing to run secondary for the zones on ns.ripe.net; contact <inaddr@ripe.net> for details. If there are problems, please do not hesitate to ping us. Kind regards, Geert Jan de Groot On Tue, 08 Nov 94 14:13:04 IST Hank Nussbacher wrote:

Up till a week ago I would send in my in-addr.arpa requests to internic.net. They are now telling me they don't handle it anymore. How do other sites handles in-addr.arpa registrations?
