Search Again: Reverse DNS questions From: Andrew Murray Date: Thursday, July 30, 1998 Time: 6:23:00 pm We are using QuickDNS Pro version 2.0 and are having problems with getting reverse DNS to work. Our domain name is centricsystems.ca and we have set up the forward DNS info without any problem. I used the domain assistant to create the reverse domain file for our domain and it created a primary domain called 96.236.207.in-addr.arpa. with entries for each ip address we are using in the forward domain. Our address space is 207.236.96.160 - 207.236.96.191 However, machines outside our network cannot do reverse DNS lookups on any of our machines. Normal forward lookups work fine. Our service provider says the following: " We are secondary for both your forward and reverse file but our server is not able to get the zone transfer for the reverse. I verified in your name server and you are not answering for the reverse which would be 160/27.96.236.207.in-addr.arpa, but are answering for the full class c which is 96.236.207.in-addr.arpa I believe this is where the problem is. If you fix the reverse file the problem should clear up. " My question is: how do I set up QuickDNS Pro to properly answer for our address space? I've tried manually changing the name of the reverse domain to 160/27.96.236.207.in-addr.arpa, but this didn't work either.
