Reverse DNS on static IP

CiaranReilly — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 12:17:08 GMT

Hi there,

I'm posting on behalf of a customer. They have BT Business broadband, and have been assigned a static IP for some time now.

We recently attempted to setup an internal web service hosted on said IP, and I noticed at this point that the static IP assigned to them, has a reverse DNS name assigned to it, which obviously previously belonged to another customer.

Could anyone please tell me where I go to have this old name removed, and a new one added?

Many thanks 🙂

The only people who are going to be able to change the PTR record are going to be your broadband provider.

Just give them a call or email them, it should be simple enough.

Details on how to get rDNS removed or changed can be found in the Help FAQ How can I change or remove the reverse DNS set up on my domain name?

Nice one. I thought it was never this easy to do.
