Hi,
If this is a FAQ I apologise, but I couldn't find an example.
I have a "forward" domain mydom.net, in which I have an A record and a
CNAME like this.
tc23.test.mydom.net. 1800 IN CNAME sol41.mydom.net.
sol41.mydom.net. 1800 IN A 10.144.114.170
I have corresponding PTRs in another zone file:
170.114.144.10 IN PTR sol41.mydom.net.
170.114.144.10 IN PTR tc23.test.mydom.net.
So when I dig, I get
$ dig +short -x 10.144.114.170
tc23.test.mydom.net.
sol41.mydom.net.
Which is cool, but a chore to maintain as I have to add PTRs for A
records and CNAMEs.
Is there a way to configure things such that one need only add a PTR
for the A record and the dig above returns both A and CNAMEs?
Thanks,
Adam Nealis.
