Configure Reverse DNS

[sirioxx]

Hi all, I need help with dns configuration.

I start with some questions.

• Do I have to create a DNS reverse zone for each domain?
• I noticed we can create PTR record in the forward zone. Is that correct or should it not be allowed?

I found the right steps to follow, but please answer my questions :-).

Here’s the procedure:

Example:
I have the zone mycompany.lan. and a host named test005.mycompany.lan with ip 192.168.2.45.

---

Press the button CREATE to add a new zone.

Select “Reverse” instead of “Forward”.

Domain Name
2.168.192.in-addr.arpa

Masterserver
zeroshell.mycompany.lan.

Email contact
hostmaster.zeroshell.mycompany.lan.

Then press “Submit”.

---

Now add a new record for our host:

Button: Entry Command / New
(Note that record type is already selected to PTR)

Hostname: test005.

Entry Name: 45

Press “Save” button.
