i have a dedicated server with 2 ips and i am planning to run a nameserver, mailserver and webserver on the same server. i heard that reverse dns is important. how do i do that?
My questions are...
1. will it work if i setup the reverse zone in my server? or should i ask my host to setup reverse ip for me?
2. Do i have to setup reverse entry to mailserver or domain or nameserver? which is important to have reverse ip.
I'm with a German (dedicated server) Provider and have the ability to personalize the Reverse DNS settings through their CP.
No US provider had allowed me this setting before, so I'm clueless about it. Whats Reverse DNS, what if I change the current setting to like - rdns.mydomain.com? Whats the use?
An example ip: xx.xxx.xxx.xx is owned by A Company via a DC. The they have their name allocated to the netname and description when i look up their ip address.
I have my ip xx.xxx.xxx.xx this is me and it currently contains my DC's name throughout when i look it up as the description and netname...
Both are from the same DC however the other company has their name allocated to the ip address and i would like to do the same. Does this require Reverse DNS? It dosent involve domains surely does it?
if my main site hosted in usa and reverse proxy server located in UK or Canada. will my site load still quickly or be slow dramtically? both use linux and apache. or canada user will quickly load my site or still slow? how about usa customers?
I was issued two IPs for my DNS server.My DNS server is up but when a domain is using the new dns server.I did a dns check and was told there is no reverse dns.Can I do it myself by setting on the DNS server or I need to get my ISP who provide me the IP to do it set the reverse dns?
We recently decided to move all our DNS to a service called DNS Made Easy and also our sever box. We setup what they call Vanity DNS with ns0.domain.com and ns1.domain.com so our clients did not have to change their nameservers.
Our records for all domains are now setup and looks like they are beginning to propagate. Here's where the question is:
IP - 1.1.1.1 is for domain1 IP - 1.1.1.2 is for domain2, domain3 and domain4 IP - 1.1.1.3 is for domain5
All domains have MX records pointing to a either Google or Mailtrust.
what is the best way to setup Reverse DNS and PTR's for this setup and what should we ask our ISP to do for Reverse DNS in this case.
if I do a reverse lookup on my server's IP it returns a host assigned by the data center. So is this something I should even be managing too or is that always left up to the DC? I run my own DNS for the forward lookup zones.
Also just a technical question, when you do a reverse lookup, how does it know where to look to get the host? I'm not sure I fully understand how these work.
I researched a few options and have come to this conclusion use Ultramonkey (LVS + HA Proxy) -> apache2 mod_php/ mod_python (serve php / python) -> lighttpd (serve static files) -> mongrel (ruby server)
I have a VPS with the hostname myhost.domain.com, with four IP addresses, one of which is assigned to a shared hosting account (using WHM/cPanel) at sub.domain.com.
For email delivery purposes (I'm sending e-commerce receipts (that MUST be delivered) from PHP apps running on sub.domain.com), do I need to set up reverse DNS entries that say their IP addresses belong to myhost.domain.com, or to sub.domain.com?
I am trying to do Reverse DNS and PTR of my server, but it the documentation from cpanel.I followed the Documentation till Editing the Reverse DNS Zone from here. URL... My Server has IPv4, the problem is the First and the Third Step, and in that result image shown on cpanel site, it has shown like 1 , 2 ,3 so Do i have to write their 123 in even in my cpanel or write the IP or reverse IP.
As title suggests I'm looking to make sure my hosting is set up to respond with valid PTR information so my server generated emails aren't flagged as spam.
I have full SSH access to the machine at root level.
Running a CentOS machine but there are also other virtual hosts using a shared ip.
I have a client coming to me from another provider. Their biggest problem currently is that many emails either vanish or some get emails while others don't.
I did a check on DNS Reports and found that the domain is on a shared IP address (800+domains) whereas its mail server points to another IP address. Neither of the IP addresses appear blacklisted in any spam databases. The only possibility seems to be the IP address for the web site which does not have have a PTR record (reverse DNS record).
Could this be why the emails are disappearing? They have even configured SPF for the domain etc. I would like to avoid facing a similar situation when the client moves to me.
A few days ago, when installing TUX, I have mounted the virtual hosting directory to var/www/html/mywebsite.com (that's an empty directory I created in order for TUX to work) via:
mount --bind /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/ /var/www/html/mywebsite.com/
command.....
After figuring out that TUX has some problems I reverted everything but not this mount --bind command.. What is the reverse command for this, so everything will come back to the point which they were before?
I've been having a problem for the last year: most of my pages are indexed by the IP address - not domian name and I suspect it is because of the lack of reverse DNS
Is my ISP supposed to add reverse DNS or should I buy one from dyndns as I am using their DNS service
I'm having tons of problems trying to get reverse lookup working on my dns server. I've scoured the net and tried lots of methods but so far none work.
Forward lookup DNS is working perfect, but reverse lookup is completely broken.
