I have cloned a linode1 that is linked to mydomain.com and the reverse DNS is li19034-215.members.linode.com;

the reverse DNS of the cloned linode is also li19034-215.members.linode.com; I wouls like to delete the reverse DNS and assign it to the same iP : 172.105.236.228 or delete it, but when I try it I have the error: Domain is not valid.

  • Many services check that the forward DNS resolves to the IP you are trying to set the reverse entry for. Is this the case or not? If yes, then a support ticket to Linode would be the suggested action. – tater Dec 30 '20 at 22:58

I'm not sure how you're trying to change the rDNS, but as I recall, it is the domain block owner who has this ability. Given that Linode is a bit larger than a couple of racks, they usually allow you to modify this yourself.

My guess is that you don't have an A record that is pointing to your IP address. That is a prerequisite to setting up a PTR record pointing at the domain.

Hope that helps, good luck!
