Thanks all,

 

And when I configure the DNS reverse zone on my internal DSN server and ask my ISP to delegate my subnet (We pay monthly fees for the subnet and internet access), then anything else I should do? to my internal DNS, should I publish my internal DNS? or is it enough to keep it hte same way?

 

Also assuming that I want the ISP to configure the reverse dns for me, I just ask them to add a reverse DNS for my subnet?

 

Thanks

That's not entirely true. Your ISP will need to delegate your subnet(s) to your DNS servers if you want to run your own reverse DNS. If you own yoru subnet, you need to work with the registrar to get the delegation.

It's likely that your ISP will have to host your Internet reverse zone if they own your IP addresses.  Really, you're going to have to ask them.

Hi list,

How do you exactly configure a reverse DNS zone? which type should it be? (standard, primary, active directory integrated), should it allow for zone transfer, if I want to configure it on my internal DNS server (which doesn't do any zone transfers with any one else its only internal, but it can resolve external names), how should I do that? I need it for my email that is being rejected for the lack of a reverse DNS setup. Also do I need to do anything with my ISP, ask him to do anything for my name records in his database?

Thanks,

r.c.
