[nznog] Re: forward & reverse dns

I second what Liam said. My personal policy is if its a business plan then yes, I will do those sorts of customisations and others as required. If its a standard plan I will consider it on a case by case basis. The key here is what the clients total relationship value is. In context it should be said this sort of thing is something the vast majority of clients don't care about and the ones that do tend to be low profit clients.

Hmm. I expect low-touch, but given the reverse appears generated (<ipaddr>.foo.isp.net.nz) or similar, the forward would also be generated to match.

And to host services (which I consider entirely reasonable for a home or any other user), I'd need a more useful dns setup than that.

All this is doing is giving me a warning in my mail server logs, but it's irritating :-)

Cheers,

Richard

That would really depend on your ISP, for the likes of Spark/Voda/Vocus/2Degrees etc and their various sub brands I would say no it’s not, residential plans are low margin low-touch cookie cutter products.

Matching forward / reverse DNS is something that would creep into into their business product offering / scope, as it lets you could let self host services etc which I would consider a business feature. (If you can get all the features on the low / zero margin type product, why would you pay for business grade products that the ISP needs to sell to make some actual margin on tails?).

If you’re with a smaller boutique ISP then you might find a friendly admin who could set some records for you 🤷‍♂️

Hi all,

Is it reasonable to expect that a residential ISP, that provides a generated reverse resolution to a home IP address, will also provide a matching forward resolution that goes back to the same IP?
