Generic reverse DNS data

NSD
1

Hi, I have a larger amount of reverse DNS zones in my NSD, for which I would like to have generic entries, following a certain scheme. As for now, I have the generic records and the occasional specific reverse DNS record all defined in zone files. For knot, I discovered the module “synthrecord”, which seems capable of generating both the forward and the reverse record for such use cases. https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/2.8/html/modules.html#synthrecord-automatic-forward-reverse-records Is there a similar way in NSD, which avoids the need for having all the actual PTR records in my zone files? Any feedback appreciated. Best regards Andreas

Hi Andreas,

of generating both the forward and the reverse record for such use cases.

Is there a similar way in NSD, which avoids the need for having all
the actual PTR records in my zone files?

NSD is very simple, and has no modules for generating anything on the
fly. You'll have to put all your records into your zones.
