Hi-
I don't understand how reverse lookups are managed/stored. When you
query any nameserver with an IP address, you get the domain name.
In my case, a query for mycomm.com turns up my ip address.
mycomm.com internet address = 205.252.165.66
and a reverse inquiry, yields my isp (mycomm.com is a virtual domain
under websp.com)
66.165.252.205.in-addr.arpa name = websp.websp.com
Does the in-addr.arpa domain reside at the rootservers?
The basis for my question is this. I am going to move mycomm.com from
its virtual host to my own machine when the DSL gets hooked up. I plan
on running my own nameservers.
I did a reverse lookup on my new block of addresses and got
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-sdsl.line.cais.net. If my nameservers have the correct
A and PTR records for mycomm.com, which domain name will get returned
when I do a reverse query on my new address?
How does the in-addr.arpa domain know which is the correct PTR record?
Thanks in advance.
Milan
