Hi, I have a DSL/Uverse connection behind a generic router that does not give me much option to configure but I got it working running DNS/Apache. As some of you know, AT&T does not reverse their Uverse connection to any domain. But since they provide a static IPv4 address, I thought, "what a hack, I will design a network to run a server from this static ip address."
The AT&T ip address is 162.201.66.177 that reverses to 162-201-66-177.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net. # dig -x 162.201.66.177 ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> -x 162.201.66.177 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 16066 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1452 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;177.66.201.162.in-addr.arpa.

However, lately I observed that the connection host, "162-201-66-177.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net.", without any DNS or Apache configuration from my part is resolving to a section of the server that I only reserve for the localhost, (I mean, is not that this host is connecting to the localhost but it is resolving in a part that Apache is reserved for the localhost). I would like to know if I can fix that by pointing this host to my domain. For my WAN network I have; bonsi.org hosted by Google Domain (In view external) zone; $TTL 21600 $ORIGIN bonsi.org. @ IN SOA ns1.bonsi.org. hostmaster.bonsi.org. ( 2019032901 10800 3600 604800 21600 ) @ IN NS ns1.bonsi.org. @ IN NS ns2.bonsi.org. @ IN NS ns3.bonsi.org. ; ns1 IN AAAA 2600:1700:b310:c2e0::21 ns2 IN AAAA 2600:1700:b310:c2e0::31 ns3 IN AAAA 2600:1700:b310:c2e0::41 ; ns1 IN A 216.239.32.107 ns2 IN A 216.239.34.107 ns3 IN A 216.239.36.107 ; ns1 IN AAAA 2001:4860:4802:32::6b ns2 IN AAAA 2001:4860:4802:34::6b ns3 IN AAAA 2001:4860:4802:36::6b ; @ IN A 162.201.66.177 www IN A 162.201.66.177 @ IN AAAA 2600:1700:b310:c2e0::2 www IN AAAA 2600:1700:b310:c2e0::2 ; ftp IN CNAME www then, I have the 162.201.66 (In view external) Zone for the ip address. $TTL 86400 $ORIGIN 66.201.162.in-addr.arpa. @ IN SOA ns1.bonsi.org. hostmaster.bonsi.org.

Now, not to extend this too much, here is my question; - Do you think this is a DNS issue and if it is, what is the possibility to point the host "162-201-66-177.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net." to my domain bonsi.org so the AT&T host won't resolve on the no man's land in the server? Thanks for your help!
