Netrouting celebrates Earth Day with green server solutions

Today is Earth Day! Over one billion people in 192 countries are participating – people everywhere are taking action in their communities and helping depict The Face of Climate Change.

What can your hosting business do to reduce global warming? Simple. Use less energy.

Netrouting offers a complete line of dedicated hosting solutions that help to keep the Earth green. From single dedicated web servers to modular-designed server blade systems, we deliver the highest system-level efficiency available.

13W Atom and 35W Sandy Bridge Server Solutions

The amount of power a server draws is measured in Thermal Design Power (TDP). TPD represents the near maximum power a product can draw for a thermally significant period while running commercially available software.

The following table compares the energy efficiency all of the current processors offered by Netrouting:

Processor	Core	Clockspeed	Max TDP
Intel® Atom™ Processor D525 from 49	Atom	2 x 1.80GHz	13W

CIS feature highlight: reverse DNS management
Reverse DNS lookup uses pointer records (PTR) for mapping IP addresses to domain names – the obverse of forward mapping where A records map domain names to IP addresses. It associates a domain name with an IP address and provides a method to verify ownership of the IP address.

Reverse DNS is independent from forward DNS. For example, the forward DNS for “abc.com” pointing to IP address “1.2.3.4″ does not necessarialy mean that the reverse DNS for the IP address “1.2.3.4″ also points to “abc.com”.

This is solved by creating a custom reverse DNS entry. In reverse DNS, a special PTR record type is used to store the reverse DNS with the segments reversed plus “.in.addr.arpa.” For example, the reverse DNS entry for IP address “1.2.3.4″ would be stored as a PTR record as “4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa”.

Custom PTR records replace default “.in-addr.arpa” entries. This allows for a human readable name to associate with an IP Address for such things as tracking website visitors or email origin. But more importantly, it provides a level of verification showing that a particular domain name is associated with a particular IP Address, and vice versa.

Creating Custom PTR Records

The Netrouting Customer Integration System (CIS) gives you total control to create your own PTR records without the need to rely on technical support.

To begin, Log into CIS and select the vDNS menu tab.

Available IP addresses will be populated in the Select your IP address menu item. Choose the IP address that you with to create or modify a PTR record and click Submit.

This will open up the PTR zone record editor where you can create your custom entry.

Replace the Name input field with your new PTR record and click Submit.

Remember to also create a forward zone (A Record) matching your PTR record. This is usually an important requirement to pass email through many SPAM filters. In this example, since our PTR record is “server1.netrouting.com”, we should also create an A Record using exactly the same name.

Once your PTR record has been created or modified, it can sometimes take up to 24-48 hours for it to propagate across the Internet.

There are many online resources to test your reverse DNS configuration and to see whether your change has propagated. A good one to use is the MxToolBox Reverse Lookup .

If you have questions about configuring reverse DNS, please log a support ticket or contact support@netrouting.com. We’re always here to help!
