There was several posts about how to remove or change the default auto-gen ip-ad-dr-s.da.direct domain from the server itself,

But how to remove it from the internet? Since the da.direct domain owned by DA, obviously, and it seems doesn't have a period about how long the domain will be removed after it doesn't use by DA panel, and it also seems don't have a self-service method to request revoke/remove from NS server

So the IP address seems permanently marked as ‘been used by a Web server with DA panel’ if anyone dig about the IP prefix or related DNS history, or it's not good for someone want to keep much less info about their service in the begin,

So, anyway to completely remove ip-ad-dr-s.da.direct hostname from the Internet?
 
You can't remove, it's dynamic resolves from directadmin dns.

Example: I random dig the record with any IP.

So the real automatic part is that da's dns will auto process the JJ-QQ-KK-AA part and reply with IP address JJ.QQ.KK.AA format? Interesting...

I didn't think about that, hmmmm, so can I consider it as a free service bind to public IPv4 provided by DA even if I didn't use da on that server, just use let's encrypt and host something with nginx on the domain will work, I think
 
They use bind, powerdns or unbound and then they pass every IP into a DNS format. Those should be added only for whom do have a license - yes. But in the end, they are not the only one, if you do a little research, they are many. :)

Bash:
$GENERATE 0-255 192-168-1-$.da.direct. IN A 192.168.1.$
