Reverse DNS for my unixshell.com ip address

[caseih]

I'm in the process of migrating from linode.com and I noticed that with my unixshell.com account, my ip address has a weird reverse lookup to ragestar.enkian.com which forward maps to 63.251.83.53 (which is not my VM's ip address). enkian.com is supposed to have expired by now, so I imagine all these maps are just left over. The reverse lookup bothers me because no one seems to have an authoritative map for my ip address which I presume is legally owned by unixshell.com. Linode owns all the authoritative reverse lookups for all their VM ip addresses unless you ask them to turn it over to you or something.

Personally I don't need to own my own reverse DNS map for my VM, but I'd really like to see unixshell own it since it is their net block. Will unixshell do this? Linode had some kind of scheme they used: li4-217.members.linode.com maps to 217 in whatever subnet machine 4 was on.

The reason I'd like to see unixshell do something similar is that to send mail sometimes other mail servers demand that my ip address reverse-lookup which won't happen if this bogus domain finally goes away. Also I am worried that the domain enkian.com could be on some black list somewhere and cause my mail to be rejected. I will open a service ticket over this, but I thought I'd post here first and see if any unixshell staff members can give an informal response.

thanks.

We do it on a daily basis... just contact support via ticket with your IP and what to set the reverse to. In a very near future release of Teknic users will b able to set reverse DNS themselves at any time they like and as often as they like. The entry you have now is left over from an old customer and definitely needs to be updated.
