Cevap

PTR record
PTR (Pointer) records provide reverse DNS resolution by mapping IP addresses back to fully qualified domain names.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the service requirement
The target requirement is resolving a host's domain name starting from an IP address (reverse DNS lookup).
Understanding whether the operational need is forward or reverse resolution determines the record type.
2
Select the appropriate DNS resource record type
PTR records store mapping entries specifically for reverse DNS resolution.
Forward records (A/AAAA) convert names to IP addresses, while PTR records map IP addresses to canonical hostnames.
