How to configure the reverse DNS of a failover IP
Only users who have completed the linking of their the Dedibox account to the Scaleway console are granted access to the Dedibox section within the Scaleway console. For detailed information on the migration process, please refer to our account linking documentation. If you cannot locate the Dedibox link in Scaleway's console side menu, you can use the Dedibox console to place orders, manage your Dediboxes, and access the related documentation.
You may need certain IAM permissions to carry out some actions described on this page. This means:
- you are the Owner of the Scaleway Organization in which the actions will be carried out, or
- you are an IAM user of the Organization, with a policy granting you the necessary permission sets
- You have an account and are logged into the Dedibox console
- You have performed the linking process between Dedibox and Scaleway
- You have ordered a Dedibox server
- You have ordered a failover IP
You can edit the reverse DNS of a failover IP address to a custom value. This can be useful when you want to send email from your Dedibox, as certain remote mail servers do not accept mails coming from generic reverse hostnames.
