Search Again: Multiple PTR records (was Re: Setup QuickDNS) From: andrew kagan Date: Thursday, July 29, 1999 Time: 1:47:00 pm It would seem that having multiple PTR records would be a significant no-no...anyone trying to authenticate a machine name to an IP would see two different names...or would it matter? If it's just looking for the "name" and hoping that it's associated with a US IP, then it probably wouldn't be confused if another "name" had the same PTR record. > > > Have had a CNAME for our mail for over 2 1/2 years now and have not seen > a problem.
