PTR Records
PTR records are created along with A records pointing to Custom IPs (see
on page 82). For exam-
ple, if you created an A record
www.mydomain.com
pointing to
11.22.33.44
, then a PTR record
44.33.22.11.in-addr.arpa
pointing to
www.mydomain.com
will also be created.
When there are multiple host names pointing to the same IP address, only one PTR record for the IP address
will be created.
In order to have the PTR records working, you will also have to create NS records for the PTR records. For
example, if the IP address range
11.22.33.0
to
11.22.33.255
is delegated to the DNS server on the BD1000,
you will also have to create a domain
33.22.11.in-addr.arpa
and have its NS records pointing to your DNS
server’s (the BD1000) public IP addresses.
