result

Ptr records for 64.250.113.235 are: Server: 10.0.80.11 Address: 10.0.80.11#53

Non-authoritative answer: 235.113.250.64.in-addr.arpa name = notification.pokemoncraft.com.

  1. Your hosting provider who owns the IP sets the PTR record for it. There is nothing to do in the DNS zone editor for your domain.

    I have just done it. My hosting provider (digitalocean) automatically created PTR record when I named the host, it just needed to be the full name, ending with the domain. I added the IP in Godaddy's DNS editor. Now nslookup hostname and nslookup IP work just fine.

    When I first called Godaddy support they tried to sell me "premium DNS". But unless they own the IP, they could not set the PTR record anyway.

    To add a PTR record in the GoDaddy DNS Manager, you need to do the following:

    • In the Zone Field Editor go down to the TXT(text) Zone
      • Click Add SPF Record

    A window will open with 4 tabs (Inbound, Outbound, The well hidden 'PTR' and Outsourced)

    • Go to the PTR tab
    • Check Include PTR and add your public IP

  3. You need to setup an A record pointing notification.pokemoncraft.com to 64.250.113.235. This can be done from the GoDaddy hosting control panel under DNS.

  4. @Jan Mandel is correct ,

    if you are using an VPS from Linode , and your domain DNS is edit in godaddy, so you should just login Linode and config PTR record there.
