Dig shows wrong ip at server:

Hi everyone..
Ive got some jabbered notification callback to non existing host error in my log.

Jan 17 21:49:29 server jabberd_notification/c2s[156]: [8] [::ffff:192.168.12.205, port=62298] connect
Jan 17 21:49:29 server jabberd_notification/c2s[156]: SASL callback for non-existing host: serv.mydomain.com
Jan 17 21:49:29 server jabberd_notification/c2s[156]: [8] [::ffff:192.168.12.205, port=62298] disconnect jid=unbound, packets: 0

I would guess it has to do with the reverse dns. But the sudo changeip -checkhostname shows no errors. So I tried dig -x and got this:

Everything looks fine (to my knowlagde), but I'm wondering if the server: should not state my 192.168.12.205 ip?

many thanks.

 

Thanks for a fast reply. That explained it. I think the problem is in my reversed DNS. Ill check that with my ISP tomorrow. thanks again. These stuff is a bit tricky for non pros.

Is generally it a bad idea to have multiple PTR when running a lion osx server with the usual standard stuff turned on?

 

Ist now solved. Once the reversed DNS was set up and everything restarted he could connect and the message is gone.
