How do I set up reverse DNS for my IPs?

You can manage reverse DNS yourself in Phoenix under Services > Reverse DNS.

To add a record, click New Record, then fill in:

  • IP Address – one of your IPs (IPv4 or IPv6)
  • Hostname – what the IP should resolve to (the trailing dot is added for you)
  • Record TypePTR for standard reverse DNS, or CNAME / NS to delegate reverse DNS to your own name servers

We handle the in-addr.arpa / ip6.arpa conversion automatically. You can edit or delete your records from the same page at any time.

If you need RFC 2317 style delegation, open a support ticket and we’ll set it up for you.
