RE: [cobalt-users] Reverse DNS Lookups

["Patrick McNeil" <pmcneil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having reverse pointers that point to multiple host names is the same as
pointing a single host name to multiple IP's. In other words think of it
like this. If you point one IP to multiple host names in the reverse look up
zone, it is the same thing as pointing say www.blah.com to two different
IP's. This means that a reverse query will not know which one to use. This
is my understanding of it any way.

In my DNS settings, I have all of these records pointing to 200.12.41.130. I
also have reverse pointers to all those names. Now, from recent postings to
the list, I get the idea that perhaps this is wrong... that I should only
have reverse DNS from 200.12.41.130 --> suma.guate.net (i.e. a single name,
not seven of them).
