DNS resolves www.lowyat.net to 202.190.197.144. But how come this IP appears to have no reverse DNS entry?
 CODE c:\>nslookup www.lowyat.net Server: ns2.onebb.com Address: 202.180.161.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.lowyat.net Address: 202.190.197.144 c:\>nslookup 202.190.197.144 Server: ns2.onebb.com Address: 202.180.161.1 *** ns2.onebb.com can't find 202.190.197.144: Non-existent domain c:\>nslookup 202.190.197.144 4.2.2.1 Server: vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net Address: 4.2.2.1 *** vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net can't find 202.190.197.144: Non-existent domain |

Yes I know the box is hosted at Jaring's datacenter. Don't understand my question do you?

We haven't requested Jaring to set the reverse entries for us. I'll bug se7en to do it, since it can affect mail deliveries.

I see, I see. Per my limited knowledge of DNS, I was under the impression every website's IP should have a reverse entry. Thanks for satisfying my curiousity..cheers
