Subnetted Class A network - trying to setup a reverse lookup

[Alex Thompson]

Hi there guys,
I've setup a Windows 2000 AD domain etc & have setup the forward dns
lookup zone (ad integrated). I'd really like some help on how to setup
a reverse lookup zone. I've read a lot of articles in google & ms but
am gettin confused. I understand that if my network had a classed
subnet (255.0.0.0) my reverse zone would be 10.in-addra.arpa (I hope).
But my network has a subnetted network of 10.150.4x.x, 255.255.252. My
mask bits are 22 (found using an ip calculator). + should it be ad
integrated too to ease admin? Can someone please try to explain what I
need to do here? I'd me most grateful.

Hi Ace, yes I sure did. It confused me more. It just one of those
things that I'll do once then forget. I just need an example really I
think. I read the technote & it confused me more. It's not as simple
as it is on a classful addressing scheme. HELP!!
