It's forward confirming reverse DNS. I assumed that everyone does that by default.

What everyone does by default doesn't matter really here, it's that an IP owner/user can literally set the reverse to any arbitrary domain regardless if the actual domain has a record for that IP. What matters is both match, thats all I meant

  • xena said "forward confirming reverse" twice which means rdns and then resolving that forward to confirm it matches.
