NameSurfer 7.6.4.1


A PTR (Pointer) record serves as a pointer to a different place in the DNS namespace. PTR records are used in the IN-ADDR.ARPA domain to define reverse mappings. They are not commonly used in other domains.

Because a PTR record points to a different zone from the one it resides in, it must be entered as a fully qualified domain name.
