The Reverse Host Name Lookup property in the Network Settings host properties applies to master servers, media servers, and clients.

The domain name system (DNS) reverse host name lookup is used to determine what host and domain name a given IP address indicates.

Some administrators cannot or do not want to configure the DNS server for reverse host name lookup. For these environments, NetBackup offers the Reverse Host Name Lookup property to allow, restrict, or prohibit reverse host name lookup.

Administrators can configure the Reverse Host Name Lookup property for each host.

The following topics describe the Reverse Host Name Lookup host properties.
