I found and read the DA Help article "How to add reverse IP Lookup on your IP's" and thought I would give it a try. Yep, my hosting provider is the SOA and I will have to ask them to add PTR's as needed for my domains. No big deal.
BUT THE BIG DEAL I'M HAVING is I want to remove the new (added) entries in DA under DNS Administration. Because I followed the article, I now have the entry:
1.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa [Local Data] No [Local Mail] No
Which means a zone was created, but I have no clue how to delete it...
Ah Ha! Figured it out. But only do so with caution and knowing what you're doing...
1. Edit file: /etc/named.conf
2. Delete the LINE of the zone [1.1.1.1* in my case, yours will be different]
3. Save file
4. Delete zone file (in): /var/named/1.1.1.1*
5. Restart named
Hope this helps others and hope the post is kept around. I might have to refer to it again when I forget how, but remember to search for it...
I would also suggest adding to the Help article mentioned above on how to remove the zone that is created by following the instructions given, as is probably in most cases the Hosting Provider will have to add PTR's and if so, others like myself would want to know how to clean up/remove the zone if it isn't necessary.
Some more Key Words (tags) for this to help with searching:
