Hello All,
I need to set up basic DNS for a home network, and thought I'd try to set up my modem to do this.
I've added my domain...
>dns server config domain = higgs.me.uk
And thought it was all good...
$ dig macmini.higgs.me.uk
;; ANSWER SECTION:
macmini.higgs.me.uk. 0 IN A 192.168.1.70
;; Query time: 5 msec

However with reverse lookups I get backslashes in the answer
$ dig -x 192.168.1.70
; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> -x 192.168.1.70

This is with firmware 7.4.20.4.
Does anyone know if this is normal, or a bug that is fixed in later versions of the firmware.
Cheers, Simon.
