What it's for: Run a reverse DNS lookup to find the PTR hostname for any IPv4 or IPv6 address. Essential for mail server checks. Instant.

What trips people up: Why does my mail get rejected for missing reverse DNS? Receiving mail servers treat a missing or mismatched PTR record as a spam signal. Your hosting provider sets this record for you.
