What is a Reverse DNS Lookup?

The reverse DNS lookup functionality in Connectivity Management allows you to view the hostnames of the IP addresses to which your subscribers are sending data. This functionality displays the web address, or URL, to which data is being transmitted in addition to the IP address. A web address is only displayed for IP addresses which have a registered hostname.
