[nznog] Re: forward & reverse dns

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 On 5/11/20 5:53 pm, Liam Farr wrote:

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?
