Reverse DNS: Difference between revisions

There are a number of ways to do this...

 

 

Auto reverse is the default option that works by AAISP filling in a PTR record for each IP4 address and a corresponding forward A record as well so that all of your IP addresses will have a valid reverse entry automatically. This is mainly for customers who are not interested in setting up any reverse entries but need something in place to avoid problems with some servers. If you also use A+reverse records in a domain then your IPs will have two PTR records, both valid.

We can create the suitable in-addr.arpa zone on your account, and from within that you can add PTR records. We can do a similar thing for [[IPv6]] too where we'll set up x.x.x.x.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa zone for you. Contact Support Staff for this.

Support staff can add a name on a per IP block basis and we'll automatically create reverse records, eg, if your block is 81.187.81.0/29 and we add the name hosts.testing.me.uk, then we'll create reverse records such as:

0.hosts.testing.me.uk
