Hi

dlint produced this error:

ERROR: x.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. has 3 PTR records, but there should be only
1.

This is not correct, from rfc2181:

   Confusion about canonical names has lead to a belief that a PTR
   record should have exactly one RR in its RRSet.  This is incorrect,
   the relevant section of RFC1034 (section 3.6.2) indicates that the
   value of a PTR record should be a canonical name.  That is, it should
   not be an alias.  There is no implication in that section that only
   one PTR record is permitted for a name.  No such restriction should
   be inferred.

Please inform upstream.

Hello!


Upstream isn't reacheable currently. Homepage is
down and I don't get any answer to my emails to
the upstream author.

I will look at the changes which are necessary
by myself soon.

Hello!


Unfortunately this is a short status update only.

I have been unable to reach the upstream author for
some time now. Homepage is down and I don't get any answers
to my mails.

Any help appreciated.


I'd like to have a look at that bugs by myself, but I
might have time to do this next week at the best.

I'd highly appreciate patches or any other help here, too.


  Regards
       Florian
