View Full Version : PTR record/Reverse DNS doofer
Can someone with the ability please check for me to make sure the reverse dns/ptr thing is correct for my all-one-word.com domain? I think it is but would like it confirmed.
paulg@bliss:~$ host all-one-word.com
all-one-word.com has address 78.32.149.35
all-one-word.com mail is handled by 0 all-one-word.com.
and the PTR:
paulg@bliss:~$ dig -x 78.32.149.35
; <<>> DiG 9.4.1-P1 <<>> -x 78.32.149.35

Looks good to me :)
I get the same results as Garp (though I use a script that combines both steps into one command). :)

You look up PTR stuff so regularly you have a script for it?
Yeah, when I'm moving domains around or my ISP breaks stuff (they once broke rDNS for an entire /22 including my IP and muggins here was the one that pointed out what they'd done).
It's an old IT adage I believe - anything done twice is best automated. :)
Happened to be the first time I've used that particular script in about a year though.
