I have a VPS and requested my webhost to fix reverse DNS for my
domain & IP. They responded by telling me to provide them with
the records I want.<br>
<br>
I found the following response to someone's question on the <b>Net</b>:<br>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>Many ISPs will put in CNAME records with values that
have a subdomain you DO control.<br>
so they have 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa. (one of "your" addresses) as
"IN CNAME 4-3-2-1.yourdomain.com".<br>
Then you go into "your domain.com" and add<br>
4-3-2-1 IN PTR foohost.example.com<br>
So you can change your PTRs, and the world finds them via your
ISP's CNAMEs.<br>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
And I thought that seemed a good way to go. But I don't want to
play guessing games with my webhost as to the right record(s) and
want to confirm my guesses (and the above statement) with you
experts before casting it in concrete (or worse, having to
repeatedly redo it to get it right). In particular, he states:<br>
<blockquote>so they have 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa. (one of "your"
addresses) as "IN CNAME 4-3-2-1.<b>yourdomain.com</b>".<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I think he typoed, or I really don't understand what he's saying.
Did he really mean to type:<br>
<br>
"IN CNAME 4-3-2-1.<b>in-addr.arpa</b>"?<br>
<br>
And so, the record I would provide to my webhost is "IN CNAME
4-3-2-1.in-addr.arpa"???<br>
<br>
Or maybe he meant <br>
<b><br>
</b>
IN CNAME <b>1-2-3-4</b>.yourdomain.com ??<br>
<br>
<br>
Just to be clear I have multiple subdomains/CNAMEs, but just one IP
address. I plan to run multiple apache vhosts on my VSP and single
IP.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
