Hi List, i am digging a mail server and a router on my domain; i get the following results: 1- the dig domain.com MX gives me: ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;domain.com IN MX ;; ANSWER SECTION: domain.com. 20778 IN MX 10 mail.domain.com. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: mail.domain.com. 20778 IN A y.y.y.230 2- the dig -x y.y.y.231 (the router) gives me: ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;231.y.y.y.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: 231.y.y.y.in-addr.arpa. 21495 IN PTR mail.domain.com. obviously, the output from step number 2 is wrong my question is: where could this error possibly lead to? what are the vulnerabilities / security issues that might arise from this? thanks in advance, -A/S
