Here's something odd. We had some DNS setting issues on a client, and the record expired and dropped out of DNS. We corrected the DNS settings, and I went to create a static record this time, rather than let it register (and possibly expire again in future).
And I got an error creating the PTR. Going to the reverse zone, I already see a record there with the IP I am trying to add, but the record shows as a name of "(same as parent folder)", with a type of "Pointer (PTR)", and data says the name of the client we just just fixed. How this happened, I don't know. Ideally, I would just delete the record, and create a new, regular static PTR (so it had the correct name of .the IP address, rather than "(same as parent folder)". But I'm leery of deleting it, because of the type of record it says it is. I looked at the properties of the zone, and it does show the correct name servers; the rest of it looks OK, I think. Should I be able to delete this odd record, and then create a correct, static PTR?
