This resource record creates a mapping in the reverse lookup zone that typically corresponds to a named host (A) resource record for the DNS computer name of a host in its forward lookup zone. The in-addr.arpa domain applies to all TCP/IP networks that are based on Internet Protocol version4 (IPv4) addressing.
