Create a reverse DNS (PTR) record

Usage

ionosctl dns reverse-record create [flags]

Aliases

For reverse-record command:

[rr]

For create command:

[c post]

Description

Create a reverse DNS record so a PTR lookup on --ip returns --name.

--ip must be an IPv4 or IPv6 address owned by your contract (e.g. from a reserved IP block); --name is the hostname it should resolve back to. Commonly used to give a mail server matching forward and reverse DNS.
