reverse DNS

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to add a reverse dns entry on the ispconfig panel?

 

Yes, I manage both ipv4 + ipv6 reverse dns from ispconfig

 

can you give me an example of how to add it from the gui?

 

Let's say ip network is 10.0.0.0/24

Zone (SOA) name would then be: 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
In records you then put some ns records to you existing dns servers (i have nothing in name, but dns FQDN, in data)
And then add your PTR records like
If you would like:
10.0.0.1 test1.domain.tld
10.0.0.2 test2.domain.tld
10.0.0.3 test3.domain.tld

then click create on PTR
Name = 1
Hostname= test1.domain.tld.
remember the last dot
next would be
Name = 2
Hostname= test2.domain.tld.
and last

Name = 3
Hostname= test3.domain.tld.

 

When I created this, I then told my provider that I would like to manage reverse dns my self, and they then set my own dns servers to be resolved on lookup from their side.

 

Thanks i will give it a try!
have you managed to get your dns servers to work on ipv6 i cant seem to get clients to lookup on v6 for my servers

 

Yes ipv6 is also working in my setup

 

can you give me an example how you got it to work
i have
listen-on-v6 port 53 { any; };
and
forwarders {
8.8.8.8;
8.8.4.4;
2620:0:ccc::2;
2620:0:ccd::2;
2001:4860:4860::8888;
2001:4860:4860::8844;

but when a client does nslookup google.com myipv6ip it fails

 

To make it work I put net id in Zone (SOA), and the whole long host in name in PTR.
This one helped me a lot.
http://rdns6.com/zone
If we use subnet they show in url above, for network 2001:db8::/48
Your Zone (SOA) should be: 0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
and then in PTR records it should be like:

PTR for: 2001:db8::1 would be:
Name = 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
Host = test1.domain.tld

PTR for: 2001:db8::2 would be:
Name = 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
Host = test2.domain.tld

Sometimes I also use this one:

thanks i got it working

last thing can you give me an example of a v6 reverse dns?

 

Can't you use, what I posted in post #9 ?

 

yes you are right

thanks for all the info

 

You are welcome

 

I've been trying to add reverse DNS for several days, but I can't seem to get it to work. I do not have a sub range, just a full IPv6 address. I create a SOA and add the necessary records, just like with IPv4.

But the test on mythic-beasts dot com continues to show "no reverse DNS". It also says there is no glue record.

 

First find out which name server is authoritative for your ip-block. Then check you have added the reverse records to that name server. Finally check with command host the server works like so:

Code:

host <your ip-number> <ip-number of name server>

 

Today I received an email from the company where I have my domain registered; apparently it is currently not possible to set the nameservers to IPv6 through the web interface so they updated it manually. I may have to wait a little before the DNS cache is updated. Will see how it goes in the next two days.

 

So the reverse dns must point to the block rather than a single address?

 

No.
