The essence of reverse PTR records, and the negligible difference between Reverse DNS Nameserver location and VPS location with EDIS Global’s anycast DNS system.
Some websites (VPS- and IP test sites) indicate “DNS locations”. This just means they’re telling you where the DNS servers (responsible for linking an IP address to a hostname) they queried your IP address for are located. A “mismatch” might be puzzling for some users. It’s crucial to understand that the indicated “DNS location” isn’t a measure of service quality.
At EDIS Global, we use a smart DNS system called Anycast DNS. Think of it like a GPS that always guides you to the closest grocery store.
A PTR (Pointer) record is a vital DNS record type, linking an IP address back to a hostname. Unlike typical DNS records, such as A records which guide domain names to IP addresses, a reverse PTR record directs an IP address to a domain name.
Employing the power of Anycast DNS to resolve reverse pointers (PTR records), EDIS Global stands out with its expansive network. We operate a global network with 51 nameservers spanning two distinct clouds.
The DNS location is dynamic, depending on the user’s (including test server’s) location. For instance, a UK-based user will receive rDNS queries from UK nameservers, while a USA-based user will get results from USA nameservers. A China based test-script will indicate an Asian DNS location, independent of the VPS location itself.
Important Takeaway: The location of the reverse DNS is not indicative of the VPS location. While your VPS itself (the installed OS) might use Google- or Cloudflare DNS, the reverse PTR delegation for your IP addresses harnesses EDIS Global’s ANYCAST DNS.
Essentially, there is always a (negligible) difference between the reverse DNS name server location and the VPS location. Rest assured that with EDIS Global your operations are optimized for speed, reliability and efficiency.
