DNSMadeEasy configuration
Posted by Xia, 12-05-2008, 10:07 AM DNSMadeEasy configuration Hello, I just bought a subscription to dnsmadeeasy and changed my nameservers already. Now I did a dns report check and found the following: Reverse MX A records (PTR)ERROR: No reverse DNS (PTR) entries. The problem MX records are: 68.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa -> no reverse (PTR) detected You should contact your ISP and ask him to add a PTR record for your ips Can anyone tell me how to fix this with the dnsmadeeasy interface? I tried adding a PTR record, typed the IP but it always adds my domain name at the end. Additionally, the IP it says 68.x.x.x is completely different from my server.. which is 69.x.x.x -- how is that ? The SOA record isrimary nameserver: ns0.dnsmadeeasy.com Hostmaster E-mail address: dns.dnsmadeeasy.com Serial #: 2008010106 Refresh: 43200 Retry: 3600 Expire: 1209600 2 weeksDefault TTL: 180 Is this default TTL too little? I checked some other domains and it was always more. MX Records: I have a dedicated server with hostname named after my primary domain and mail on mail.example.com But now when I add other domains via dnsmadeeasy, the mx only allows mail.thisdomain.com instead of mail.example.com Is this normal? Do I just need to enter the main IP of my server and that's it? The name itself does not matter? Thank you, Wesley
Posted by pjsmith, 12-05-2008, 12:02 PM Hi, Reverse dns needs to be added by the IP block owner. If its your IP, then you probably need to ask your ISP to do this. Unless you have your own subnet delegated to your dns server? Most ISP's won't delegate a subnet for less than a class C

Most ISP's won't delegate a subnet for less than a class C +1 when your ISP will make a reverse DNS for your IP address you can check here if it's working good. http://www.myiptest.com/staticpages/...rse-DNS-Lookup
