Automatic Reverse Map Generation

Use this form to configure the Netra server to generate reverse maps (address to name records) corresponding to the host records in the primary domains for which the server is responsible automatically. A link to the form appears on the DNS Server Administration form if the Netra server is responsible for at least one primary domain. The reverse maps will be based on the first three octets of the IP address, which assumes that the Netra server is authoritative for the entire block of class C hosts.

To Generate Reverse Maps

1. From the Main Administration page, under "Network Service Administration," click Name Service, then click DNS (Domain Name Service) Server Administration.

2. Under "DNS Server," click Enable Automatic Reverse Map Generation.

   The DNS Reverse Map Generation page is displayed.

3. Click OK.

To Disable Automatic Reverse Map Generation

1. From the Main Administration page, under "Network Service Administration," click Name Service, then click DNS (Domain Name Service) Server Administration.

2. Under "DNS Server," click Disable Automatic Reverse Map Generation.

   The DNS Reverse Map Generation page is displayed.

3. Choose one of the following:

   • Disable automatic reverse map generation. Leave the current reverse maps in place. This leaves the reverse maps in place, but stops updating them.

   • Disable automatic reverse map generation. Remove the current reverse maps. This both stops updating reverse maps and removes the current files.

4. Click OK.
