Reverse DNS Lookup - Records Other Than PTR Records

Records Other Than PTR Records

Record types other than PTR records may also appear in the reverse DNS tree. In particular, encryption keys may be placed there for IPsec (RFC 4025), SSH (RFC 4255) and IKE (RFC 4322), for example. Less standardized usages include comments placed in TXT records and LOC records to identify the geophysical location of an IP address.

Famous quotes containing the word records:

    Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
    And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
    Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
    Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
