|    Reverse DNS optional?    |
|    03 Feb 15 02:08:40    |
      From: gah@ugcs.caltech.edu              I was wondering how reverse DNS is supposed to be used.       Consider some choices:              A: Nobody uses it, and it is a waste of time to set up the servers.              B: Some do, some don't, don't be surprised if it doesn't work.              C: Only hosts that make outgoing connections need DNS, don't waste        the time otherwise.              D: Hosts that make outgoing connections and router ports need rDNS.              E: Every host (and each port of multi-homed hosts) should have rDNS,        but the network police won't arrest you for not doing it.              F: Network administrators who don't configure reverse DNS should        be shot.                     thanks,              -- glen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
