BIND Question


My data center is located in New Orleans which has forced me to rebuild a lot of my servers. I chose BIND over my old Windows 2000 server to handle DNS.

I have every thing working fine now except for my reverse DNS MX records. When I run a report from http://www.dnsreport.com/

ERROR: The IP of one or more of your mail server(s) have no reverse DNS (PTR) entries (if you see "Timeout" below, it may mean that your DNS servers did not respond fast enough). RFC1912 2.1 says you should have a reverse DNS for all your mail servers. It is strongly urged that you have them, as many mailservers will not accept mail from mailservers with no reverse DNS entry.

Can someone please help.
Thanks

So the error there politely states that your DNS records do not have matching PTRs. It strongly recommens that you add one. As such... add one. google for "BIND PTR record" for loads of documentation.
