Question

You are a systems administrator for WestSim Corporation. As part of a new security initiative, the IT department has developed a custom application that reports the host name of all clients that try to access three sensitive servers in the Accounting department. The application has been working fine for the last three months. The company expands and adds a new building with a LAN connection to the rest of the network. This building has its own subnet, 192.168.5.0. You create a scope on an existing DHCP server for this subnet. During a random check of the reporting software, you discover that the application reports the IP address, but not the hostname for clients on the new subnet. Everything works as designed for hosts on other subnets. You check the DNS database and find that none of the hosts on that subnet have an associated PTR record. What should you do

Answer 1

Answer: Create a primary reverse lookup zone for subnet 192.168.5.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the best thing to do is to create a primary reverse lookup zone for subnet 192.168.5.0.

When this is done, the reason for the application reporting of the IP address, but not the hostname for clients on the new subnet can then be known.
