Effects of adding a class-B reverse dns zone?

Image
hi all. easy question hopefully.. have 250 reverse zones, class cs. did analysis , found still doesn't include cs covered our dhcp scopes. instead of adding additional class c zones, i'd create 2 class bs cover ranges being passed out dhcp. question whether have effect on existing class cs, or in other words, more "specific" reverse zones priority queries , dynamic updates, or need create delegations other zones? long-term, i'd collapse cs 2 bs. for example, suppose have: 10.20.30.in-addr.arpa 12.20.30.in-addr.arpa what happens if create 20.30.in-addr.arpa? if can reference documentation i'd appreciate it. thanks! paul hi paul, post. based on test, assume have 2 host records: abc.domain.com 30.20.10.1 , def.domain.com 30.20.10.1. if have abc.domain.com 30.20.10.1 in 10.20.30.in-addr.arpa , def.domain.com 30.20.10.1 in 20.30.in-addr.arpa , when nslookup 30.20.10.1, abc.domain.com . if not have 10.20.30.in-addr.
