Reverse lookup: This occurs when a client computer knows the IP address of another computer and requires
its hostname, which can be found in the DNS serversPTR (pointer) resource record.

You are configuring a reverse lookup zone for your network, which uses the Class C network address range of
192.168.5.0/24. Which of the following addresses should you use for the reverse lookup zone?
a. 5.168.192.in-addr.arpa
b. 0.5.168.192.in-addr.arpa
c. 192.168.5.in-addr.arpa
d. 192.168.5.0.in-addr.arpa
The reverse lookup zone contains octets of the network portion of the IP address in reverse sequence and uses
a special domain name ending in in-addr.arpa.Thus the correct address is 5.168.192.in-addr.arpa. You do not
use the host portion of the IP address, so 0.5.168.192.in-addr.arpa is incorrect. The octets must be specified in
reverse sequence, so the other two choices are bothincorrect.
