Reverse PTR record for client moving to new ISP
|
From: Frank on 15 Apr 2010 16:48 Hi, I just picked up a client who moved his SBS 2003 (using SMTP for mail) network from his home to a office. At his house he had Brighthouse networks with a static IP. Due to the move he changed ISPs to CenturyLink with a static IP. I found his DNS was hosted by GoDaddy and changed the MX and "A" records to reflect the new static IP. Looking at GoDaddy DNS manager his domain is alalpert.com. I also found out another domain is involved - smartofficesolutions.com Mail forwarding is setup from smartofficesolutions.com (Site is hosted by another company in another state) to alalpert.com. My question is would I setup a Reverse PTR record for with the new ISP for alalpert.com only?

From: Frank on 15 Apr 2010 17:58 Thanks for the shove in the right direction Ace, Unfortunately CenturyLink.net does provide that service.

From: SteveB on 15 Apr 2010 19:46 I think your client chose the wrong ISP if CenturyLink.net will not provide the proper PTR.

From: Andrew M. Saucci, Jr. on 15 Apr 2010 21:40 Two possibilities: 1) A whois of the IP address shows that it is owned by Embarq Corporation. OrgTechPhone: +1-407-741-0500 OrgTechEmail: ipsupport(a)embarqservices.net Perhaps CenturyLink is a reseller of Embarq and Embarq may be willing to setup reverse DNS as you like it, even if CenturyLink will not (boo, hiss). 2) If you can't raise the bridge, lower the river. The current reverse DNS for the IP address in question resolves to fl-67-76-130-96.sta.embarqhsd.net. You can simply tell Exchange to report that as its name when it sends a HELO command. That may alleviate some problems with spam filters. It isn't ideal, but it may help.
