I have managed to successfully set up forward looking zones on my DNS
servers. Now I am ready to set up reverse zones so that network utilities do
not complain. So far, all reverse zone lookups are handled by ISP DNS
servers, we get a subnet of their IP range. Now in the new reverse zone
wizard I am trying to enter our network ID, but it only takes the 1st
3octets. Should I enter the 1st three octets and also overwrite a lot of
space that is not ours?

Also, how do I make this work, do I need to tell our ISP to delegate all
queries for our small subnet to our DNS servers?
