Changing Reverse Dns Records

Feb 18, 2008

I signed up for a dedicated server this weekend.

I'd like to know if its possible to change or even delete the reverse dns record from
the ip address from my server ?

Is it possible to hide the "dig -x ip" results?

I don't want them to know in which provider i am....

Reverse DNS And PTR Records

Dec 7, 2008

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.

Changing DNS MX Records

Jun 26, 2009

I'm setting up my dns records for a backup mailserver and setting up another ns record in case of server / datacentre problems.

My question is, do I need to specify the ip address of the external hostname and the external namserver in the local dns record?

e.g mail.mydomaim.com in A **.***.**.**

then add mail.outside-domain.com in A **.***.**.**.

I dont think its necessary but want to double check.

Changing Dns & Mx Records

Jul 30, 2008

I have a domain registered with Dotster and my NameServers point to Verio who is my webhost. My MX Records at Verio point to Appriver who handles my email. I'd like to get Verio totally out of the picture and just host my site at Dotster and still keep the email at Appriver. However, I'm not quite sure the order in which to change the various settings.

Do I just change the Name Servers at Doster to point to Dotster instead of Verio and then use Dotster's DNS to point the MX Records to Appriver? Would I then disable the MX Records at Verio? What about propagation of these changes...would I lose email traffic?

Do I need to change the TTL? I'm really not sure about the order of the steps.

Changing Host Name Or Reverse Lookup

Jul 19, 2008

if its possible to change the reverse lookup, or at least i think thats what it is called.

I have 2 accounts on my CentOS, WHM/cPanel VPS and they are hosted on their own seperate IPs however when you do a lookup on one domain it also lists the other domain as being hosted on the server and vice-versa.

How do i change this so they appear like they are on different servers? Each one has their own nameservers which are on seperate IPs also.

Plesk Automation :: Changing IPs Marks TXT Records Active Again

Apr 16, 2015

It seems that changing the IP of a web site (which I can't get to work) reactivates records from the default DNS template that have been deactivated...for example the default TXT records are activated, so now the domain may have two SPF records, only one of which is correct. Having multiple A or other records is potentially worse, if, say, "mail." now points to the wrong server.

My questions are...

MX Records

Jul 13, 2009

I have a domain(ex. mydomain.com) hosted on a shared windows server, I also have a dedicated Linux server with a different company.

What I would like to do is have the mail be handled by the Dedicated Linux Server(cPanel/WHM), while the site is running on the shared windows server.

I understand I would need to change the MX Records for the domain on the Windows Server to point to the dedicated server's mail server IP Address (mail.SERVER IP ADDRESS.com ?), but do I also have to create an account on the linux server to handle the mail (example forwarders/auto responders).

If that is the case, how do I tell it to take care of all the mail coming for the domain mydomain.com?

MX Records

Oct 31, 2007

I have two hosting packages with 1and1: a shared hosting package and a new dedicated server. I am transferring my domain from the shared package to the dedicated server.

However, I have not yet initiated DNS propagation. Files, databases, FTP accounts, subdomains, cron jobs, etc. have all been added to the new server. The problem is, I'm not ready to setup the email accounts on the dedicated server. I have about 20 email accounts on my domain and I will have to show each user how to setup the new account with their email client of choice and transfer any important email to the new account using IMAP. Copying the mailboxes with SSH is not an option since I don't have root access to the shared server. Email is not stored on that server anyway (I think 1and1 uses perfora.net servers for load balancing email and databases). Plus, I'd rather handle all of the email stuff after propagation is completely finished.

So here's my question... How can I make mail sent to example.com go to 1and1's email server? I looked up my current MX records and they are mx00.1and1.com and mx01.1and1.com. I tried adding the following MX records to my server's DNS table (in Plesk):

Mail exchanger: mx00.1and1.com
Priority: 0

Mail exchanger: mx01.1and1.com
Priority: 5

(This one was already there)
Mail exchanger: mail.example.com (my domain)
Priority: 10

But when I send an email using SMTP on the new server, it is sent to a test inbox on the new server instead of the shared server. Is the MTA not looking at the DNS records on the same server or are they cached somewhere and I have to wait a while (it's already been several hours)?

Second question... I still want 1and1 to think that I'm hosting my domain on the shared hosting package so that my email accounts won't be deleted. For this reason, I can't transfer my domain name in the 1and1 control panel until the new email accounts are completely setup. Can I just point my registrar (Go Daddy) to ns.example.com (my domain) instead of ns.1and1.com? DNS service is running. I'm just afraid this may route any traffic within the 1and1 network to the shared server instead of the new one.

I probably haven't been very clear about everything but I'm still very new to server management.

How Does Reverse DNS Work

Jul 22, 2009

some clarification with regards to Reverse DNS.

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?

Reverse DNS Lookup ...

May 5, 2008

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.

HE.net Deligated Reverse DNS On /27

Jun 26, 2007

I am having trouble pinning down exactly what I am doing wrong with reverse DNS at HE.net on a /27 subnet.

Example host:
65.19.156.29
master1.ipcoast.net

It looks to me like HE.net has properly deligated the subnet:

# dig -x 65.19.156.29 @ns1.he.net.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
subnet0.156.19.65.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN NS ns2.ipcoast.net.
subnet0.156.19.65.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN NS ns1.ipcoast.net.

And I have the zone file on both of those servers. But still won't resolve from outside coming in.

Reverse DNS - Which Hostname

Apr 13, 2007

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?

VPS With 20 IP's And Correct PTR Records

Nov 7, 2009

DigBuddy is an email deliverability and MX monitoring service. Customers sign up and input all of the email addresses at their domain and our monitoring system will check to make sure that these email addresses are able to receive email by logging in and attempting to send an email without actually sending one. It also checks the DNS, SPF records and a bunch of other stuff so our clients can be assured that they are able to send and receive email to a variety of networks without issue.

We need to set up monitoring servers on a number of networks across a number of countries that can be used to send and receive email. Basically all we need is a VPS with 512mb of ram and 19 IP's. It also must have an unblocked SMTP port 25 and the IP's must have a neutral or better senderbase score. We also need to make sure that the IP's have proper forward and reverse DNS entries.
