What is the purpose of the inverse domain?..

Answer / pinar uyanik

Inverse domain is used to map an address to a name.

For instance, if a server receives a request from a client
and this server has only the ip addresses of the clients in
its list then the server needs to find out if this client
is on its authorized client list.

In order to determine if the client is on the authorized
client list,server asks its resolver to query to the DNS
server to map an address to name.

And this type of querys are called inverse query(pointer
query -PTR).

Answer / puja das

The inverse domain is used to map an adddress to a name.This
may happen,when a server has received a request from a
client to do a task.
Server has a file that contains a list of authorized
clients,the server list only the IP address of the
client(extracted from the received IP packet).
To determine if the client is onthe authorized list,the
server can send a query to the inverse DNS server and ask
for a mapping of address to name.This type of query is
called inverse or pointer query.
To handle a pointer query ,the inverse domain name is added
to the domain name space to the first level node called arpa.

Answer / sahiya riyas

The inverse domain is used to map an address to a name. This may happen, for example,when a server has received a request from a client to do a task. Although the server has a file that contains a list of authorized clients, only the IP address of the client (extracted from the received IP packet) is listed. The server asks its resolver to send a query to the DNS server to map an address to a name to determine if the client is on the authorized list.
