PTR record/Reverse DNS doofer

Feek · 27-10-2007, 13:52

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

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?

Mark · 27-10-2007, 19:28

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.
