How to add ptr records in SunOS 5.10 DNS Server
 

Dears,

I would like to know how to add ptr record for a public IP (using for exchange server)in Sunos 5.10 DNS server.

Hi,

I guess your dns server is running bind.
In this case, open the zone file of the x.y.z.in-addr.arpa zone and add your new PTR record. See this for an example of a reverse zone file example.
Then increase the serial number, save the zone file and reload bind.

Cheers

Hi,

Find the zone file for the 18.102.92.in-addr.arpa zone and add a record
If you don't know the filename of the zone file, take a look in /etc/named.conf where it's defined.

Dears Thanx for your reply.

Bathory,

i added a PTR record in my reverse lookup zone, but when i tried check with command nslookup it showing below given error,


**server cant find 163.18.102.92.in-addr.arpa: SERVFAIL

i can resolve mailer.tek.com to its curresponding IP 92.102.18.163

I checked my zone with command named-checkzone and its result is OK and no error.

Please give me a solution for this error. your early reply will help me more.


Regards,

The error you get (SERVFAIL), means that there is a configuration error. What is the outputof
I guess you're running bind. If so post named.conf and the reverse zone file.
