    Hi,
    There seems to be an issue with 10.4.7 server not being able to resolve a reverse record for a classless delegation in the form:
    XXX.128/25.XXX.XXX.XXX.in-addr.arpa.
    but will recognize this format:
    XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.in-addr.arpa.
    The server seems to think it is getting two records returned when the lookup returns the DNS traversal and will produce an error similar to the following in the Console Log:
    servermgrd: servermgr_dns: more than one name for the primary IP address, unable to pick one
    servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no hostname set and unable to detect via DNS, services may not function properly – use changeip to repair
    There is an Apple Discussions thread that describes this, MSG ID 2866813, and I have spoken to another user on a DNS list who found this as well. Speaking to Apple they are stating that they are not aware of this and are escalating the issue.
    Anyone here experienced this and have a workaround? Apple initially had me set “HostName” manually using scutil but this did not stop the errors.

    Thanks

    Your describe the symptoms exactly as I am seeing them. I can only second your question, as I have not found a workaround either.
