We have an application that queries reverse lookups on clients trying to access it in order to verify the client and its IP are legit and a part of the correct domain/acl.. So if the pointer record does not match, the client is rejected. I don't know if that is relevant in this case, but it provides an example.
it's not relevant... Of course, there must be A or AAAA at the end, since all those NS, MX, CNAME records point to domain names, and chains need to end with A or AAAA, but the original question was whether the A record is needed at zone apex. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
