You need to inform your Datacentre, Ip holder who lease the Ip from ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC depending on your region.

Hello

Reverse DNS uses pointer records (PTR) to convert IP addresses into domain names. This is the opposite of forward DNS, which uses A records to convert domain names into IP addresses. This is documented at:

RDNS for Bind

However, typically you must consult with your hosting provider or data center so they can setup the reverse DNS for you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Exist difference into PTR and SWIP ?

*What is SWIP ?

 

[cPanelMichael]

SWIP (Shared WHOIS Project) is the process that ISP's use to make their submissions of IP space reassignment information to WHOIS.

Thank you.

SWIP (Shared WHOIS Project)

Thanks Michael.

Then x ISP ABC = owner of range 22.22.22.1 to 22.22.22.256 (by example)

Then when a little company rent a server,
the ISP ABC reassigned [WHOIS/INFO OWNER]
of range 22.22.22.1 to 22.22.22.5
becouse IPs from 22.22.22.1 to 22.22.22.5 now is used by
"little company"

This is SWIP?

 

[cPanelMichael]

Yes, it allows companies to provide ownership information for IP addresses. You can find documentation on this at:

Shared Whois Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you.

Yes, it allows companies to provide ownership information for IP addresses.

Thanks Michael.

BIG Company = "They talk with ARIN directly"
Little Company = "request SWIP to BIG ISP"

Correct?

 

[cPanelMichael]

BIG Company = "They talk with ARIN directly"
Little Company = "request SWIP to BIG ISP"

Yes, that is one way of putting it.
