What I find weird is that this name looks like the usually automatically generated reverse DNS entries Internet Service Providers use…
I guess your PBX must be externally hosted…
What I don’t get is, if it’s an externally hosted server, why there does not seem to be a name that resolves to that server (for you to remote your server…).
(I mean something besides localhost (ie 127.0.0.1)…)
(The way to query a reverse DNS entry is somewhat weird (written backwards and all that) but trust me it’s the right syntax, I was DNS admin for quite a few years…)
They most likely automatically generated those PTR entries (I know you can do that with ISC Bind (named)) but didn’t bother to create A records for the forward zone…
That machine would $u(k at sending emails because many servers expect a mail server to have a proper reverse DNS entry (which it does) but the A record to match…
@dicko, if it’s for the server to talk to himself, couldn’t he just use localhost (or is Asterisk/FreePBX not listening on it???).
As for accessing the server from the outside if that can’t be fixed on Aruba’s side and @claloano has his own domain name I would create an A record for that server in it…
There are
I talked to the supplier
And 'normal and reverse DNS does not resolve … because by default!
I did not know
Now I must indicate the name hosts and they attribute that to begin and resolve …
They explained to me that those are default Penpo ago were resolved but now things are different …
Reverse DNS does but they did not bother to create the corresponding forward (ie “normal”) entry…
They can usually auto-generate these entries so I am not quite sure why they did not…
One would expect to have these entries present by default and not have to ask for them…
OK, in this way they are similar to the Internet Service Provider I use at home…
The one I use for my VPS actually let’s me change the reverse DNS entry by myself and of course I have to create the corresponding forward/normal entry in one of my domain names…
