PTR Domain "Will it work"

I just found out that jodo doesn't support reverse lookup. My user asked this question?

If I have a domain that already used PTR and then I transferred it to you will it work ?

Does anyone know the answer?
 
We only have rDNS on the services itis required, (i.e. mail),rDNS removes some privacy for resellers and is generally not wanted by them.

no transferring a domain that had it won't work, as it is a upstream provider service.
 
Actually, if you switch that domain to a dedicated IP, we could create a rDNS record for you on that IP pointing back to your domain.

We do charge a $10 setup fee per IP on such requests.

But please note that you'd still need to provide justification for that IP.
 
Yash,

One...why would you charge $10 for that? I do get free IP's don't I?

Two....isn't that my customer requires reverse dns good enough?
 
The reason we charge setup on custom IP requests (such as requesting IPs from a certain range or different range or rDNS) is because they need to be managed manually and we need to set them up manually.

Plus, depending on which IP is assigned to your domain, we may even need to call up our upstream tier-1 to delegate rDNS for it to us.
 
rDNS is more complex than just DNS, there is no built in facility for managing and creating it, the time that it takes to setup is what the charge is for, also note that it is a one time charge, not $10 a month.
 
Sorry for the newb question but i don't really understand what reverse DNS is used for??

Another random question, do reseller's customers have to justify IPs also?

>Example, www.domain.com is assigned ip 255.255.255.255(not real, don't try looking it up, its a broadcast address), if you traceroute to that IP, it will just have the IP, if youhave rDNS, it will return the domain with the IP. Very few things require rDNS, one of the main services needing rDNS is mail servers, as one wayto prevent spam is to match IPs to greeting to rDNS entry.

IP Justification is a internet wide issue, every provider has to provide justification for their IPs in use.
