I've contacted Comcast before to delegate RDNS authority to me, but they didn't allow that for customers. When I had AT&T DSL, AT&T did delegate RDNS authority to me.<br><br>Wilson<br>_______________________________________________<br>CentOS mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:CentOS@centos.org" href="mailto:CentOS@centos.org">CentOS@centos.org</a><br><span><a target="_blank"
