Hello,
I think I have my server address screwed. I ran a reverse DNS and here was my output.
------------- OUTPUT --------------------------------------------------------
How I am searching:
Asking a.root-servers.net for 142.76.002.44.in-addr.arpa PTR record:
a.root-servers.net says to go to dill.arin.net. (zone: 44.in-addr.arpa.)
Asking dill.arin.net. for 142.76.002.44.in-addr.arpa PTR record:
dill.arin.net says to go to ns1.swbell.net. (zone: 002.44.in-addr.arpa.)
Asking ns1.swbell.net. for 142.76.002.44.in-addr.arpa PTR record: Reports myserver.mydomain.com.
Answer:
44.002.76.142 PTR record: myserver.mydomain.com. [TTL 86400s] [A=None] *ERROR* A record does not point back to original IP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"myserver" is a name that I made-up when I ordered the server.
Somehow when I do a reverse DNS lookup, it does not like "myserver.mydomain.com"
Please comment and advise....
