Webmin-DNS Module and management of subnets

[Bjoern K. <B.K...@rz...>]

Hi all,

we are currently trying to use webmin to manage our DNS servers.
All is pretty well except webmin's management of reverse DNS entries.

To make this issue clear I have to tell you our configuration:
 We have one "root" zone for the whole Class-B net:

zone "uni-frankfurt.de" {
        type master;
        file "zones.prim/hosts.uniffm";
};

In this zone, we manage several (100+) subzones (all Class C), e.g.:

zone "geochem.uni-frankfurt.de" {type master; file
"zones.prim/hosts.geochem";};

When adding a host to one of the subzones, the reverse entry doesn't get
written in the zones reverse file, which is defined in the named conf file
as well, but in the reverse file of the main Class B Zone
(uni-frankfurt.de), where it shouldn't be (there are only major servers
listed like our WWW servers).

Reverse Class C zones are defined by e.g.
zone "179.2.141.in-addr.arpa." {type master; file
"zones.prim/hosts.179.rev";};

Did anyone had a similiar problem and maybe a solution?
We'd even be glad to change our structure if only we could get webmin to
work with our zones correctly.
I don't think this is a real module issue, but since I am no perl guru,
checking the code itself is a task too big for me (I am a student helping
out :) ).

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!H
