14.5.7 PTR Records

PTR records are created along with A records pointing to Custom IPs. Please refer to Section 14.5.6 for

details. For example, if you created an A record www.mydomain.com pointing to 11.22.33.44, then a PTR

record 44.33.22.11.in-addr.arpa pointing to www.mydomain.com will also be created.

When there are multiple host names pointing to the same IP address, only one PTR record for the IP

address will be created.

In order to have the PTR records working, you will also have to create NS records for the PTR records.

For example, if the IP address range 11.22.33.0 to 11.22.33.255 is delegated to the DNS server on the

Peplink Balance, you will also have to create a domain 33.22.11.in-addr.arpa and have its NS records

pointing to your DNS server’s (the Peplink Balance) public IP addresses.

With the above records created, the PTR record creation is complete.

14.5.8 TXT Records

This table shows the TXT record of the domain name.

To add a new TXT record, click the New TXT Record button in the TXT Records box. Click the Edit

button to edit the record. The time-to-live value and the TXT record’s value can be entered. Click the

Save button to finish.

When creating a TXT record for the domain itself (not a sub-domain), the Host field should be left blank.

The maximum size of the TXT Value is 255 bytes.

After completed editing the five types of record, you can simply leave the page by going to another

section of the Web Admin Interface.
