Description Frank Sweetser 2007-12-05 15:56:44 UTC 
bind-utils-9.5.0-18.a7.fc8

Bind on Fedora 7, when told to look up the PTR record for an IP address that
doesn't have one, gave an appropriate error of NXDOMAIN:

[fs@trapeze ~]$ host 130.215.201.99
Host 99.201.215.130.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

On Fedora 8, however, it gives a misleading error message that sounds like you
gave it a bad query:

tty/5 1007 erwin 10:52:21 $ host 130.215.201.99
host: '99.201.215.130.in-addr.arpa.' is not a legal name (unexpected end of input)
