Thanks for the conformation. I have turned on the DDNS update function for
the reverse lookup zone and as I repoint devices to use the new server, it
should update the reverse lookup. I am playing around with VBS to see if I
can create a script that can read a file and create the PTR records for me.
I need this type of script anyway for updating records in existing zones
when I have several changes to make at once.
