Hi,
I have a win nt 4.0 domain with win2k member servers, one is hosting the
DNS, internal. I have different subnets 10.2.0.x, 10.2.1.x, 10.2.3.x, etc,
each subnet is for different deparment/building. Is there a benefit of having
a reverse lookup zone for each individual subnet (1.2.10.in-addr.arpa,
2.2.10.in-addr.arpa, etc) or I should only have one reverse lookup zone for
all of them: 2.10.in-addr.arpa?

Thanks

I would have 2.10.in-addr.arpa. Then I would create 0, 1, 2, 3, etc under
the 2.10.in-addr.arpa as sub-zones. You do that by just right-clicking and
choosing "New Domain" for each.
