Hi,

I got an static IP Address assigned from my ISP. I registered
mydomainname in DNS.

NSLOOKUP returns my IP address. But when I do a reverse lookup on my
IP Address I don't get mydomainname but a name from my ISP.

My Question: What to I need to do to correct this ?


Thank's Dani

:

Your ISP assigned you a static IP but they are still authoritative over the
IP. In other words they own the reverse lookup on the IP. You can have them
create a PTR record for you or delegate the reverse lookup to your DNS
server on your IP.
It is their choice as to how it is done all you can do is ask.
