REVERSE DNS HELP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

I can't send emails to AOL etc. I have contacted my ISP (
I have a T1 to the internet via SBC) and told them to do
the reverse stuff on there side. I got a confirmation
this morning saying it was done. I host my own Exchange
server and I am told that I have to setup reverse DNS for
it to work. I can't seem to get it setup right. I still
can't send AOL emails and when I go to DNSREPORT.com is
still shows that my reverse DNS is not setup. Can anyone
provide assistance? I have a Windows 2000 enviroment.
thanks in advance.

Patience grasshopper. If you just got them to do it this morning, it may
take upto 72 hours for it to take effect.

SBC is your provider?
Does SBC host the Forward Lookup zone?
If they don't host the forward zone, they can't host the reverse. That is
the story I got from them, they'll be glad to delegate it for you to another
DNS.

They have not created a reverse lookup, they have done what I said they
would do delegate it to another DNS server. In this case ns67.worldnic.com.

ns2.swbell.net says to go to NS67.WORLDNIC.COM. (zone:
0.116.140.66.in-addr.arpa.)

For this to work you will need a reverse lookup zone
named "0.116.140.66.in-addr.arpa." (without the quotes) on the noted DNS
above with your PTR records in it.

SBC will _not_ create a reverse lookup if they do not host the Forward
lookup. This I know first hand.

Take a look:

That has to be done on the DNS server they delegated it to, which is
NS67.WORLDNIC.COM. whomever the admin for that DNS server, needs to create
the zone and PTR record.

If NS67.WORLDNIC.COM is you then, yes, you create the zone. But, something
tells me that is not your DNS. Below is what I get on the DNS it is
delegated to.

I found out I need to set the DNS on my side.
Do you have any idea where I need to start? Do I just
create a new zone and name it? thanks for the help.

Just creating the zone won't help, the zone has to be on the DNS server SBC
has delegated the zone to, in this case I'm sure it is not you.

If you want SBC to delegate the reverse zone to you, first things you'll
need to do is get your registrar to create a DNS Host with the public IP of
your DNS server.
Then you'll have to allow incoming connections on 53 TCP and UDP on the IP
and forward them to the IP of the DNS server.
Then after the host your registrar has created has propagated, call SBC and
have them change the delegation to the host and IP that your registrar
created.

You'd be better if you let the admin of the current DNS it is delegated to
create the zone, but that is only my opinion, you know how opinions are.

If the zone is delegated to your DNS or any others, when you make any
changes, deletions or additions, there is a 24 to 72 hour propogation wait
period.

But as Kevin said, it's probably alot easier to let your ISP take care of,
which in this case is whomever owns worlnic's nameserver, but it sounds like
Network Solutions. Curious, why did they delegate it to that and not to your
DNS, unless you didn't ask them specifically?

Hi Ace,
Just a guess here, but sbaker probably didn't specify who to delegate it to,
they probably delegated it to the Authoritative DNS for his forward lookup.

I had this problem with SBC, they were hosting my forward zone and reverse
lookup. When I moved my Forward lookup, their DNS server automatically
deleted the reverse lookup. When I called them about it the said they have
to host the Forward zone before they can host the reverse zone. Personally I
think it's mostly a money thing, they don't charge for hosting, they do
charge for setup, $100 per domain and $50 for changes.

They have to host the Forward first? That's ludicrious!! What a scheme! LOL.
I used to use Qwest and I did not host any one of the 25 domains I was
hosting with them at all. But they did delegate the reverse to my two name
servers with no problems. I had the whole IP 'C' block.

I would look for another provider... 🙂

Not much choice, it's either SBC DSL or Cable, don't want cable, I think
they're more than DSL.

Unfortunate. How much is cable?
But then again with cable, its tough running different services, especially
mail.

44.95 if you have Cable TV 54.95 if you don't. (I Don't) Cable would be
another 50.00 a month.

My DSL is 64.95 with 5 IPs and no restrictions on the services I run.
I could get DSL for 44.95 with a dynamic IP.
Oh, and of course who can live without a telephone.

I can understand your choice and would have done the same thing. Tell you
the truth I'm sick and tired of Comcast. Mine is 42.95 with and 54.95
without cable. I think they'll be raising it soon. If I can get some things
that I have going on in the works in gear, I may go back to a T1. 🙂

Yes, and I didn't even mention the restrictions put on cable internet, I was
looking at the terms of use earlier, there is no way I'd ever go to cable.
It would have to be dam cheap, no servers no public services, cable is way
to pricey for that the little dab I get off my services helps pay my bill
and the phone co doesn't care if I keep my line maxxed out 24/7, I'm sure
the way they look at it if I don't have enough bandwith for what I'm doing
they'll sell me some more. Which I may just do, I can go one step higher on
DSL, if that gets too conjested they'll gladly sell me a T1. I think before
I do that I'll set up downtown. One of my clients are downtown he has the
same tier as I do but because he is only two blocks from the CO his average
down is 1.9Meg and 220k up (it supposed to be 1.5m and 128k)

Dear Kevin,

On a different subject:

I have clients who use thier fax lines for SBC DSL.
From your comments, I am wondering if I can
use a home phone line (voice) as a DSL line at the same time,
or, once having turned it into a DSL line will it still work
as a voice phone line as well?

Thank you,
James W. Long.

Right, but Network solutions is where I am registered
through. SBC delegated control to the admin of
NS67.Worldnic.com, which is a network solutions server.
When I call network solutions they tell me I need create
the reverse zone on my side. Which I do and it doesn't
work. Any other ideas?

Let me put it this way, before SBC offered DSL, I had DSL from another ISP
here that had there DSL on a dedicated line (which BTW wasn't fast enough
for my son to play StarCraft and anyone else to download anything). In
addition to that I had a my main voice line, a fax line, and my childrens
line so, I was paying for four wires coming into my home. I have combined
all four lines into one and cut my cost by more than 50% by using
personalized rings for the kids and fax line.

So to answer your question yes, SBC's DSL lines can support DSL and voice,
the kit they send out has plenty of filters to get the DSL squeal out of the
line and DSL gets an unfiltered line.

Do you have a host name registered with NetSol for your DNS server?
If you don't you can do that in NetSol's Domain management web interface
(it's on the left side of the page and says "Manage host servers"

If you have a hostname listed at the gTLD servers SBC can delegate the
reverse lookup to you. You have to specifically tell SBC to delegate it to
your DNS.

ok, I talked to SBC this morning and they have now
delgated control to me. The switched it from
NS67.Worldnic.com to my dns server 66.140.116.4. SBC also
had me create a new A record from my netsol DNS management
area call ns.insurors.com which is forwarded to
66.140.116.4. So SBC is pushing everything to
ns.insurors.com which is pushing to 66.140.116.4 which is
my dns server. So I created a new reverse zone
66.140.116.x subnet and created ptr record in there, ip
number 5, and still nothing. This is wearing me out. Any
other suggestions?

You have a couple of problems.
1. When I tried to run a lookup against your DNS server at 66.140.116.4 I
can't get an answer. Make sure you forward port 53 UDP and TCP to your DNS
server from this IP.
2. Your reverse lookup zone is misnamed if what you stated is correct.
Delete that zone and recreate the zone like this.
New standard primary reverse lookup zone, wehn you click next to enter
either the SubNet Id or zone name you must select select zone name, name the
zone "0.116.140.66.in-addr.arpa." (without the quotes) next, then finish.
Now create the PTR, IP # 4 with ns.insurors.com and IP # 5 with the FQ host
name of your mail server.

When you create a delegated Reverse lookup zone you have to create the zone
by the name it is delegated to. The Zone name your IP is delegated to is
"0.116.140.66.in-addr.arpa." Put your PTRs in that zone. Oh, to see the zone
name in the GUI in the View menu select "Advanced"

You can see this in the www.dnsstuff.com when you use the reverse lookup
tool.

Asking ns1.swbell.net. for 4.116.140.66.in-addr.arpa PTR record: Got CNAME
referral to ns.insurors.com. (zone 4.0.116.140.66.in-addr.arpa.)

ok, I setup the new zone as you suggested and the only
thing I am not 100% sure about is what the FQ host
name of my mail server is. Is is mail.insurors.com or
iot5.insurorsindemnity.com? How do I find out. Then in
regards to forwarding the ports, where am I supposed to do
that from? my firewall, router, ? thanks
