How to create a reverse look up zone in Windows DNS
Hello:
I am preparing to deploy a new VCenter Server Appliance and the new VCSA is to be setup in a VLan that is for Servers. We have 3 primary corporate VLans:
We do have another Client VLan that uses 172.20.2.0/24 but that is at a satalite location. Our concern right now is at the primary location.
According to the resources I have researched in regards to setting up a new VCenter Server Appliance (version 6.0 Update 2). I must have a DNS reverse lookup zone and and entry for the IP Segment that the VCSA will reside in.
All routing between has been established for 1.5 years. I believe I just need to setup a reverse lookup zone in DNS for VLan-11. My resources include:
Any thoughts

So the answer is to:
1. Make a 172.20.11.0/24 reverse lookup zone.
2. Create a pointer for the IP address that I want to associate with the new VCSA.

Are the above points correct?
