I need to have my 2 websites to have an individual rDNS record but they both are running on the shared web hosting servers

I'm a server noob and want to get some solution or some advice from the gurus of the ServerFault. I currently have two different live websites running and they both are using the shared web hosting servers. But I need to have those two websites to have an individual rDNS record set up for each and to work that out, it seems like I need to have those two websites migrate to two different dedicated server ...

What should be the rDNS PTR records for a self-hosted email server with a website domain hosted elsewhere?
ec flag

We have a self-hosted mail server at our business's single, static IP address (mail.companyA.com). Our website is hosted by another company at a different IP address (companyA.com). Our emails use the @companyA.com domain.

Sometimes we send emails to certain clients that get through fine, and sometimes we get bouncebacks from the same client indicating we are blocked. Short-story: I am concerned  ...

BIND9 Forwarding Reverse DNS
in flag

I've set up a BIND9 DNS Server. It should only do forwarding:

  • local.domain1 - forwarders 172.24.16.10 / 172.24.16.11
  • local.domain2 - forwarder x.x.x.x
  • internet - forwarders 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4

My files look like:

named.conf

acl internals { 127.0.0.0/8; 172.24.0.0./14; 10.42.42.0/24; };
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";

Wireshark find DNS response "Refused"
ru flag

I'm looking for a way to filter a packet capture in wireshark for instances where our server responds with "Refused" to a recursive DNS query.

dns.resp.type== doesn't seem to offer anything that I see as a match to my request, do I need to look somewhere other than under dns.resp altogether?

How to confirm who is responsible for serving reverse DNS (PTR) requests an IP block?
gb flag

Before anyone answers "ask your ISP" or "ask your hosting provider", please read in full.

Scenario:

  • I own a domain name mydomain.example, and a publically routed IP block (say 192.0.2.0/28)
  • The NS records (GLUE) for this domain are configured at my registrar - ns1.mydomain.example and ns2.mydomain.example which point to my servers (self-hosted DNS servers)

Using NGINX to Access Synology services without port numbers?
it flag

First, I apologize if this isn't the right forum as this is somewhat of a networking question.

To give a brief explanation of what I want to achieve is basically have the services or apps provided by Synology be accessible via a simple URL without port numbers. I have a dedicated IP address, so I don't have to worry about setting up DDNS.

I thought all I would need to do is setup a very small NGINX s ...

Replace VPS rDNS FQDN with a mail subdomain

I have a VPS with a single IP address and multiple domain names.

I used mail-tester.com to check the spam rate of my email. And my results are:

    Nevertheless your message appears to be sent from mail.example.com.

DNS PTR lookup deprecated?
ar flag

When I use dmarcanalyzer to check my domain I get the message:

Warning : You shouldn't use PTR lookups as they are deprecated

My record looks like this: v=spf1 ptr:samplemail.com ip4:191.13.174.145 ip4:191.13.174.146 a:samplemail.com ip4:81.211.16.14 ~all

What part exactly is deprecated? I tried Googling but all I get are sites where I can do a PTR record lookup or unclear (to me) examaples.

How to set rDNS record for ipv6 address block?
ru flag

Occasionally, I open a ticket at my VPS provider to let them create a rDNS record for me. Sometimes, I can find a page in my control panel to add the rDNS record myself. This is simple for ipv4 address. I just input an ip address and a domain name to create the rDNS record. I wonder how to add rDNS record for a block of ipv6 addresses such as a 2^64 address block. Do I have to add 2^64 rDNS records each ...

Configuring Reverse DNS for an emulated DNS server hierarchy using BIND

Reverse DNS for multiple subdomains

We're setting up a system where each of our users gets their own subdomain of companymail.com for sending / receiving emails, and they can set up multiple mailboxes under that subdomain. We also want to allow them to use their own domain. E.g.:

Main domain: companymail.com.

User 1 has two mailboxes set up:

mail@user1.companymail.com
