What is the correct way of setting up a Reverse DNS Zone so that RDNS works on your domain?

Question

Using MS Server 2003 as the DNS Server and DC with Active Directory.

Answer 1

Well a lot depends on who is suppling the IP for you .

Here is a blurb of interest for you
from http://www.tech-faq.com/reverse-dns.shtml

"Reverse DNS Delegation

When you register a domain name with a domain registrar, you usually become responsible for that Forward DNS domain. In DNS terms, the domain is delegated to you.

However, you are not also responsible for your reverse records. Your Reverse DNS records are still most likely to be the responsibility of your hosting facility or ISP.

To make changed to your Reverse DNS PTR records, you must contact the company where you get your IP addresses from, usually a hosting facility or an ISP.

Alternatively, your ISP or hosting company may delegate a range of IP addresses to you, in which case you must configure Reverse DNS and PTR records in your DNS server."

Now all that being said, unless your ISP has truly delegated that to you, they control the entry! I spent a few days on this a while back and finally figured out that the IP was static but not truly delegated! (Most ISP's don't delegate this as it is an administrative workload they don't want!)

Answer 2

A reverse cell phone lookup service I have used is http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=179

Enter the number in the system and they will tell you a lot of informations about the phone number and the person who owns it.
If they have extra details you will have to pay for the report.
Free reverse phone lookup sites generally don't provide anything interesting. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.
The best thing is that you can get informations about anyone!!

Answer 3

reverse phone number search compiles hundreds of millions of phone book records to help locate the owner's name, location, time zone, email and other public information.

Use a reverse phone lookup to:
Get the identity of an unknown caller.
Identify an area code.
Recall the name of a person whose number you wrote down.
Identify an unfamiliar phone number that shows up on your bill.
