Do you need Reverse DNS with Dynamic DNS?

[HD101]

We are running Windows 2003 AD with Dynamic DNS. Do we still need a reverse look up zone?

if you want to use nslookup

 

[Nostradamus]

or for other services using reverse lookup.
I don't se why you shouldn't use it. It's hardly more maintenance or administration. Just that extra zone which kind of take care of itself (as long as you automatically assign PTR record when adding A and so on).
You don't NEED it but you SHOULD have it (my oppinion).

Thanks for the feedback Terry712 and Nostradamus, I appreciate it.

Reverse lookup is not needed generally. I have heard some legacy programs use it, and I have needed it on mail servers so some ISPs will let your mail through there systems, AOL as being the main culprit. I have it setup on all my installations.
