PTR<\/strong> (Pointer) records resolve IP addresses to domains. They map a network interface (IP) to a hostname for a Reverse DNS configuration. PTR records are configured within Reverse DNS\u00a0 domains.<\/p>\n

PTR records work similarly to A records, but rather than providing the domain name\u2019s associated IP address during a lookup, it provides the domains when an IP address is used as the search method.<\/p>\n

Common Use Cases for PTR Records<\/strong><\/h2>\n
