It would seem that most people wish PTR was never invented and it causes more grief than its worth. A few folks seemed to be resigned to having to do PTR for MTAs and other services that have built-in requirements but most would like to see the entire concept go away….</div><div><br></div><div>Anybody else, who's rolling out IPv6 on a large scale, have any comments ?</div><div><br></div><div><div>
