You are talking about an AOL employee adding something to AOL's network, not Joe's Bait Shop asking AOL to add a proper rDNS for mail.joesbaitshop.biz on a buisiness AOL broadband account or RoadRunner account. I bet that is no easy feat, and certainly not automatic.

If I put equipment on my network here (at AOL) then it better be named right in both forward and reverse lookups. When using generic rDNS for blocks of things I at least take the time to make sure I don't name something a name that it is not. Doesn't it make things difficult for troubleshooting when you have sloppy naming of interfaces? -Josh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
