I am becoming more of the mindset that proper Reverse DNS setup is
extremely important for Macintosh deployment on may levels, as well as
any non-Microsoft technology. I am also under the mindset that reverse
DNS is important in some aspects of Microsoft networking technologies,
but that also other Microsoft networking protocols may buffer you if you
do not have Reverse DNS set up correctly.
Please tell me if I am on the right track with this thought...also, if
anyone can give me an indication as to WHAT on OSX directly relies on
proper Reverse DNS....
For instance, I know that AD requires Domain Controllers to have proper
Reverse DNS setup and such...I now know that ARD relies heavily on
proper Reverse DNS to look up machines and such, I have read about this
over the weekend in the ARD forums at Apple. Most of the problems we
have with ARD have been noted in the forums with one resounding
resolution...proper Reverse DNS.
So, with that in mind, can anyone else give me any ideas as to what else
(Windows too if known) is flakey when proper Reverse DNS is not set up?
Thank you for your input.
FYI, I set up Reverse DNS zones for my student machine subnets, and ARD
seems to be responding quite well now, it starts up faster, and computer
lists seem to behave. I am still in the testing phase though.
