==About Reverse DNS==
Normal (forward) DNS is a system that allows you to look up information about a domain/host name. For example you might want to look up the IP address for the name my.firebrick.co.uk. To do this a normal DNS lookup is done for an A record called my.firebrick.co.uk and you get the answer 217.169.0.1.
