Add/Removing PTR records

[Joshua Piper]

Hello,

I am struggling with adding and removing PTR records.
My code snippet is as follows:

name = input('Enter the subdomain wanted ([THIS].domain.tld.): ')

ip = input('Enter the designated IP address/alias wanted: ')

zone2 = dns.update.Update("230.186.136.in-addr.arpa.", keyring=key) 

update2 = zone.add(name , 86400, dns.rdatatype.PTR, ip) #THIS IS NOT WORKING

response2 = dns.query.tcp(zone, '127.0.0.1')

I have been able to add A, MX etc. records to the normal file. However, have struggled getting it to work for the PTR.

May I please get assistance

Kind regards,

Josh

The owner name of a PTR record should in the "reverse name" for appropriate for the IP address you're trying to do the reverse lookup for; see the reverse name example.  You have "name" which seems to be the hostname associated with the IP address.  "name" should be the target of the PTR (i.e. where you have "ip" now).

Ahhh I get you,

I got it working. For some reason I just expected the formatting to be done by dnspython automatically.

Thanks
