yes, but only in the in-addr.arpa. zone does it have useful meaning. OK - I took my "toy" (an old Linux box w/BIND 8.1.2 installed).
0 - i use rfcs not amateur pseudo-unix wannabe systems
BIND works everywhere the same way - Unix implementation is irrelevant. Besides, I've just tested the same on a Sun - same result.
1 - i meant THE in-addr.arpa. zone, not the <whatever>.in-addr.arpa. zone.
I agree with that remark - sorry for my previous misinterpretation of your message ... ;-) Nevertheless, in the case of in-addr.arpa zone the IP address should be reversed, e.g. 8.67.45.123.
