Re: reverse dns - fully qualified zone

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Also, the top domain is www.convertertechnology.com. When I go to
http://www.whois.sc/convertertechnology.com it lists my
ctomeet.convertertechnology.com server as a name server as well as
dns1.mbcomms.net.au. So I am a little confused about how paetec is involved.
I have a server called uspostal that runs email that is in need of the
reverse dns.
So would I contact my domain name registra or the isp?
Eitherway, I will try to contact both.
Thanks,
