same for the IPs that don't belong to you in that network.
anyway, that's not a big issue, except if your provider has a bad reputation...
Interesting. Where did you get that from?
This is what my datacenter gave me.. IP Assignment: 72.35.68.56/29 Gateway: 72.35.68.57 Useable: 72.35.68.58 - 62
I only can use 58-62. 62 is not set up for any domain. Where and how did those nubmers come up for me?
they are "near" your server IP. some people check ranges and will give a reputation to a range instead of to each IP.
Now I is a scared...oh boy.
there's no reason to be scared. it's just that some people want all IPs to have a reverse DNS (well, IPv6 is gonna change this...).
