Dogsbody,
Thanks for the response... But, this is a special kind of reverse
lookup. That people with small blocks of IP's would use (I have 5 IPs).
Maybe we need an enhancement request?
Classless delegation:

The ISP can then assign you a block of IPs and let you deal with the PTR
records just for your block. I've done it by hand in FC1 and BIND but
not with BQ and the GUI.
