Re: [cobalt-users] Reverse Lookup

[shimi <shimi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reverse resolves doesn't interfere nor help in existance/non existance.

The only reason you would want reverse resolves are that when YOUR server
initiates a connection to ANOTHER server, the other server will know who
you are, instead of seeing the IP address. Also when you connect to other
servers, if there is a resolve, it won't wait for a timeout.
So basically except if you're relaying mail, you don't need reverse DNS
set. (again, not that if you won't do DNS it'll fuck something up. it'll
just be alittle slower, not a big deal)
