Auto PTRΒΆ

Normally when you create an A record, you also want to create a PTR record.

There are three options for auto_ptr on a record:

  • ALWAYS - create a PTR for every A record
  • NEVER - don’t create PTR’s automatically
  • ONLY-IF-DOMAIN-EXISTS - create PTR if the reverse domain is already present

If there is no domain for the PTR record and you selected ALWAYS, a new one will be created:

  • If the domain where you created the A record has reverse_template specified, this template will be used to created the domain for PTR.
  • Otherwise the template with name specified in DNSAAS_DEFAULT_REVERSE_DOMAIN_TEMPLATE setting will be used.
