Required DNS entries

If they are to be used by BCAM, the following DNS entries (Resource Records, RR) are required for each partner system:

• An “A RR” for forward lookup (conversion of name to IPv4 address), e.g.
  PC123456.MY-COMPANY.COM. IN A 10.0.0.44

• A “PTR RR” for reverse lookup (conversion of IPv4 address to name), e.g.
  44.0.0.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA. IN PTR PC123456.MY-COMPANY.COM
  (note: this record type is not obligatory in DNS)

• Records must be defined in the same way for IPv6 addresses.

The diagnostic program DIG can be used to check for the existence of the required entries (see section “DIG diagnostic program”).
