Table: net_dns_reverse - Query DNS Reverse Zones using SQL

DNS service is a scalable, reliable, and managed Domain Name System (DNS) solution. It enables developers and businesses to route end users to internet applications by translating human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into numeric IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) that computers use to connect to each other. A Reverse DNS (rDNS) is the determination of a domain name associated with an IP address via querying DNS.
