[plug] Reverse DNS Issue

[Shannon Carver]

Hi guys,

 

I'm a bit confused about my reverse dns setup.. I have a few IP's from a
couple of different ISP's, in which both host domains.  I've setup their
reverse DNS records too which I wrongly assumed were done at my side,
but I think for a dynamically allocated IP from an ISP should probably
be done from there side.  In other words, if I have the IP 203.59.63.44,
iinet might set its reverse DNS as vn-203-59-63-44-perth.iinet.net.au.

 

I have a mail server hosted on an ip, in which the provider (Acure),
don't have a reverse DNS setup, and a few hosts are thus returning my
mail with errors such as:

<KenandJoce at aol.com>: host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.89] said:
421-:

    (DNS:NR)  http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/421dnsnr.html 421
SERVICE

    NOT AVAILABLE (in reply to end of DATA command) 

 

My question is, is it the ISP's job to setup the in-arpa reverse dns for
this IP, or can I do it from my side.

 

Sorry if I'm not being specific above, I've been doing standard dns
stuff for ages, as well as reverse dns from within my own network, this
has me stumped a little though.
