i have to add a reverse lookup entry in bind.
i use sles 9 with yast to edit bind. but there i am not able to make a reverse lookup! (PTR)
this isn't a security question ...
sorry, that's right. i tried in suse-linux@suse.com but there are mass-mailings that my story was not recognized. and i know that here are more server admins than in the other newsgroup i tried :-)
nonetheless...is your name server authoritative for the in-addr.arpa zone to which you want to add an entry? If not its a pointless exercise nobody will ask your name server for the name.
well, you can't say that without knowing more deepness. we use a spam filter which does this lookup. (don't know why, but that's the fact) for our zone my name server ins authoritative for that. so i wanted to add this zone to bind (with IPs written backwards) my configuration for bind works now WITH reverse lookup! (manual edition) if i use yast for editing, there is no way to pick a PTR for a zone. cheers, andrew
