nsupdate for in-addr.arpa

[Patrick_...@fws.gov]

Can someone please post an example of using nsupdate to add a PTR record to
an in-addr.arpa file?

I read the man page and can add 'A' records fine, but I can't figure out
how to add the complimentary PTR records.

Thanks, Patrick

Suppose you want to add PTR record for IP: 1.2.3.4 to name 'some.other.name'
with TTL 3600 through 'nsupdate' command
type the following:

update add 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa 3600 in ptr some.other.name.

(note the reversed order in IP)
