To set up reverse resolution for a private domain, you typically need to configure DNS records on your DNS server or use a cloud-based DNS service. Reverse DNS (rDNS) maps an IP address to a domain name, which is the opposite of forward DNS, which maps a domain name to an IP address.
Here’s how you can set it up:
Access Your DNS Management Interface: This could be through your domain registrar, your hosting provider, or a dedicated DNS service.
Create a PTR Record: A PTR (Pointer) record is used for reverse DNS lookups. You need to create a PTR record that points to your domain name from the IP address.
example.com and your IP address is 192.0.2.1, you would create a PTR record for 192.0.2.1 that points to example.com.Submit the PTR Record: Depending on your DNS provider, you might need to submit the PTR record through their interface or via email. Some providers automatically propagate PTR records, while others may require manual submission.
Verify the Setup: Use tools like nslookup or dig to verify that the reverse DNS is working correctly. For example:
nslookup 192.0.2.1
This should return example.com as the result.
