Subject: Re: [AFMUG] infrastructure PTR naming conventions

Im lost.
We have two production authoritative DNS servers for our domains and allocation Im building the first of two recursive servers for our customers, and office

where would I actually put these records?

For infrastructure:

vl[A]-[B][C].[D].net.domain.com

A = vlan-id
B = device type (irtr, artr, cr, etc)
C = device index (0, 1, 2, etc)
D = location id

Example:

vl7-artr1.dan100.net.domain.com

(vlan 7 interface of "artr1" at "dan100")

For customer/dymamic pools, we just do something simple like:

ip-1.2.3.4.cust.domain.com

thats the space im talking about, infrastructure like <speed>-<portID>-<localsite>-<remotesite>.domain.com for traceroutes (remote site matches my ip documentation and will help catch a forgotten update if we move a backhaul) i guess alot of it is how much is enough, not enough, and too much, I assume i dont want <username/password> in it

I pretty much stick to these:

dyn-192-168-1-1.celerityinternet.com
static-192-168-1-1.celerityinternet.com
<real-host-name>.celerityinernet.com

I know it's forward notation, but I prefer to keep them simple.
Also valuable in some cases is setting a longer TTL value for your non-dynamic-use PTR records (like 86400 or 43200). It avoids you having to change them later when someone with a static IP gets black listed on a DUL email server list.

Also, right or wrong, I use loose geographical naming conventions (based on CLLI naming convention) for PTR records for L3 interfaces so traceroutes are more intuitive. So, one of our towers is called SDPB and it's in Spearfish so I might use "sprf-sdpb-ccr-eth1.celerityinternet.com". If nothing else, as the network grows, it's helpful internally.

I know this is alot like asking which mail server is best or which cable to use. Im putting up a DNS server with our rfc1918 space thats in use on it. Ive been reading a ton of conventions people use, some granular, some vague.
anybody care to share some examples?
