Hello
I had a really hard time to figure it out how to setup rdns on vps & directamdin.
here is solid steps you must do:
1 create hostname in administrator settings-> server settings like: server.domain.com
2 ask your vps provider to setup your host name as rDNS (IN OVH you have such option on network tabs of your vps panel)
3 add rdns to directamdin:
Go to: Admin Level -> DNS Administration
"Add DNS Zone":
domain name: server.domain.com !-- this is hostname which you setup in step 1
ip: xx.xxxx.xx !-- your Server IP
ns1: ns1.xxx.com
ns2: ns2.xxx.com
check "Create Reverse IP Lookup" checkbox, then click "Add". !-- this is really important!!!!!!
Wait a minute or so, then go into SSH to see if it worked:
dig -x xx.xxxx.xx
