Type of zone
Here you can add a new DNS zone for which SX-GATE will be the authoritative name
server. DNS queries for these zones will not be forwarded to name servers in the
Internet but answered by the DNS of SX-GATE.
IPv4 reverse lookup zone
Usually a reverse lookup zone is defined for complete class A, B or C networks
(netmasks 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0). To specify a zone of one
of these classes, please enter only the significant parts of the IP address. Some
examples:
Class A: 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 (10.in-addr.arpa.)
Input: 10
Class B: 10.5.0.0/255.255.0.0 (5.10.in-addr.arpa.)
Input: 10.5
Class C: 10.5.0.0/255.255.255.0 (0.5.10.in-addr.arpa.)
Input: 10.5.0
If your provider made a so called "classless in-addr.arpa
delegation" according to RFC 2317, you might have to
enter something different here. Keep in mind, that the
actual zone name differs from the name you enter here.
The order of the components delimited by dots is always
inverted.
IPv6 reverse lookup zone
Please enter only the significant parts of the IPv6 prefix. If the prefix doesn't end
with a colon or a four-digit hexadecimal number you might have to add leading
zeros (e.g. either "2001:0db8" or "2001:db8:" instead of "2001:db8").
Network: fd00::/8 (d.f.ip6.arpa.)
Input: "fd"
Network: fd00::/12 (0.d.f.ip6.arpa.)
Input: "fd0"
Network: 2001:db8::/24 (8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.)
Input: "2001:db8:" or "2001:0db8". Entering "2001:db8" would be wrong as
it refers to 2001:db80/20.
