Frederic,

How does someone "make a request like normal" if their client DNS server is set to 44.1.1.44, but your 7 authoritative servers are not (nor ns2.ardc.net, UK, DE etc. - but others)?

What is that "normal request" in your paradigm?
Please explain - maybe I'm missing something?
What if this user doesn't use IPIP for Internet, but needs to accesses hamwan or your subnet?

This is why it's better to simply follow RFC - or maybe your network is not being used for AMPRNet according the AUP?

What's being hidden?

73,

As the admin for W8CMN and 44.15/16 our PTR records are hosted on seven different authoritative name servers in diverse areas and networks. BGP and IPIP included, if somebody wants a PTR record make a request like normal, but we will not be allowing transfers of zone files to any server not under our control. You are welcome to make PTR queries like anybody else but no special zone transfers will be allowed.
