Reverse DNS records
From ISPWiki
PTR records resolves IP-addresses into hostnames. A PTR record is the exact opposite an A record, which points a domain name to an IP-address.
PTR records are used for the reverse DNS lookup. Using the IP-address you may get the associated hostname.
This module can be used to manage reverse DNS records. You can create new reverse DNS records, edit and delete existing ones.
