Having a proper reverse DNs means that: - your provider is on good speaking terms with the provider of address space (or even that he is the address space provider) - your dns name is meant to last for some time.
Interesting... still, in my country it is very difficult or even impossible to get rDNS even from the address space owner. They simply do not offer that service, and the talk persons do not even know what it is (not really technicians). An idea. When asking for the r-name for my current IP (W.X.Y.Z), I get something like this: Z.Red-W-X-Y-.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net. (and sometimes "static" something, instead of dynamic, go figure - this is the main provider here, by the way). So, suppose I had a domain name, but instead of pointing it to my static address (if I had one), could I point it to the given reverse name instead? I don't know how that is called in DNS parlance, but I suppose you get the idea. The rDNS on the "real" name would work, as my real name would not be the one I choosed, but the one my ISP gave me... :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
