<snip!> Although we will be assigning a record for each address, my question is why is the application (specifically HTTP) dependent on a reverse record ? What is the purpose?
HTTP has no requirement that the connecting client have reverse DNS setup. Some servers have reverse lookups enabled, and some of those undoubtedly block until the record has been retrieved or all avenues of discovery have been exhausted... and this is likely where the issue exists. As to why the server or the script/application its running needs the record, you'd have to ask the developer. -- Jeff Walter Network Engineer Hurricane Electric, AS6939
