Hi.

I want to write a script to make updates to a DNS-Server. adding A records works fine - but I can t find examles for reverse-lookup updates (in-addr.arpa). I have tried things like that:
. . 
my ($host,$ip,$type) = @_;
my @adr = split /\./,$ip;
my $revZone = "$adr[3]$adr[2].$adr[1].$adr[0].in-addr.arpa.";
my $completeHostString = "$host.$DnsDomain.";

my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new($DnsDomain);
$update->push("pre", nxrrset("$revZone $type $completeHostString"));
$update->push("update", rr_add("$revZone 86400 IN $type $completeHostS
+tring"));

my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
$res->nameservers($DnsServer);
my $reply = $res->send($update);

. . but always get "NOTZONE" as returnmessage from the DNS-server.

Thanks to all Perl Monks,
