RE: Back to Reverse DNS

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Jeff,

Looks like the dns servers for dilgardfoods.com are handled by register.com:

dilgardfoods.com        nameserver = dns41.register.com
dilgardfoods.com        nameserver = dns42.register.com

Normally the reverse DNS would be handled by the same name servers.  You
could contact Register.com and see if they could help.

However, as Scott points out.  Your in-addr.arpa is coming back gte.net:
42.15.66.in-addr.arpa
        primary name server = bigguy.gte.net
        responsible mail addr = root.bigguy.gte.net

So you might need to get Verizon to do this.  Here's some additional contact
info that may help:

  NetName:    VZN-DSL 
  NetHandle:   NET-66-12-0-0-1

A couple of other options, other than the work arounds Scott suggested:

1) Move your DNS servers to Verizon.
2) Run your own public DNS servers ( you'll need two!)



HTH,
Charles
