Search Again: Re: PTR record question. From: andrew Date: Monday, March 20, 2000 Time: 12:02:00 am it's probably a good idea to have PTR record mapped to your DNS...but you're saying the ISP is providing DNS, so why are you using QuickDNS? as a primary or secondary? If you're providing primary DNS, then YOU have to create the reverse domain in QDNS (actually, it will create it for you, but you still might need to add the PTR for the DNS). If you're providing secondary DNS, then you wouldn't need to worry about thePTR records (the ISP should be taking care of the reverse and configuring it properly). PTR records ARE essential for mailservers and routing devices, but not much else. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Wallace" <brian@digitalgear.com> To: "QuickDNS Talk" <quickdns-talk@lists.menandmice.com> Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2000 6:39 PM Subject: PTR record question. > Hi, > > I still have a lot to learn about DNS and I have a question I can't > find the answer to.
