Figure 20.2 CNAME Records in a Reverse-Mapping Zone

You add CNAME records in the parent zone on your name server. The aliases defined in those CNAME records point to the addresses in PTR records in the child zone delegated to the other server.
When you define a reverse-mapping zone that has a netmask from /25 (255.255.255.128) to /31 (255.255.255.254), you must include an RFC 2317 prefix. This prefix can be anything, from the address range (examples: 0-127, 0/127) to descriptions (examples: first-network, customer1). On a NIOS appliance, creating such a reverse-mapping zone automatically generates all the necessary CNAME records. However, if you need to add them manually to a parent zone that has a child zone with fewer than 255 addresses.

Note: If you specify a subdomain in the Domain Name field when configuring a DNAME record, and the subdomain is also a subzone, the DNAME record appears in the list view for the subzone, not in the list view for the parent zone that was selected when adding it.
