Suppose you want to add PTR record for IP: 1.2.3.4 to name
'some.other.name'
with TTL 3600 through 'nsupdate' command
type the following:

update add 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa 3600 in ptr some.other.name.

(note the reversed order in IP)

Hi all


nsupdate works fine with A and CNAME type
{
echo "update add toto.sacem.fr. 3600 IN A 11.0.0.1"
echo "update add titi.sacem.fr. 3600 IN CNAME toto.sacem.fr."
echo
} | nsupdate -v -d

but what is the syntax for PTR records ?


Thanks for your help
