↩️ Reverse DNS Lookup
Reverse DNS is the lookup direction most people forget exists: given an IP, find its hostname. ISPs and hosting providers register PTR records that map IPs back to a domain. Useful for verifying mail server identity, checking what hosts a suspicious IP, or just curiosity.

Why do many IPs have no rDNS?
PTR records are optional. Many residential IPs do not have them set. Mail servers SHOULD have rDNS or their email is more likely to be marked as spam.
Can the IP owner change rDNS?
Only the network that owns the IP block can set rDNS. End users on residential ISPs cannot change it without ISP help.
