I'm trying to set up Reverse DNS for my domain: cigarsaustraliaforum.com.au

I keep getting the error: No match was found for 'cigarsaustraliaforum.com.au'. Reverse DNS must have a matching forward entry that points to one of your IPs.

Yet when I check the zone file is seems like the forward resolution is set up correctly:

; cigarsaustraliaforum.com.au [533721]
$TTL 300
@ IN SOA ns1.linode.com. cameronreilly.gmail.com. 2014111772 300 14400 1209600 300
@ NS ns1.linode.com.
@ NS ns2.linode.com.
@ NS ns3.linode.com.
@ NS ns4.linode.com.
@ NS ns5.linode.com.
@ MX 10 mail.cigarsaustraliaforum.com.au.
@ A 66.228.55.82
mail A 66.228.55.82
www A 66.228.55.82
@ AAAA 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fedb:24a8
mail AAAA 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fedb:24a8
www AAAA 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fedb:24a8


Any suggestions?

Hello,

If you whois that domain, you'll see that it's not using the Linode nameservers - so any changes you make in the DNS Manager won't actually do anything out in the world.

Either add the records where you are currently hosting that zone, or switch the authoritative nameservers at your registrar over to us.

Hope that helps!

Ah right so it's because I'm using Cloudflare. I had wondered about that. I turned off CF and got it working! Thanks Chris!

Hmm. I turned off Cloudflare and managed to get the rDNS set up again.

But when I go to http://cigarsaustraliaforum.com.au/adserver/www/admin/ and try to login to adserver, it goes looking for the dash at http://66.228.55.82/adserver/www/admin/dashboard.php and doesn't resolve. Any idea why that would be?

For some reason, the links that "Revive Adserver" is generating on that page use the IP address rather than the host name. Probably something to do with the configuration of your web application.
