## ADDRESS02: Reverse DNS entry exists for name server IP address
### Test case identifier
**ADDRESS02** Reverse DNS entry should exist for name server IP address
### Objective
Some anti-spam techniques use reverse DNS lookup to allow incoming traffic.
In order to prevent name servers to be blocked or blacklisted, DNS
administrators should publish PTR records associated to name server
addresses.
TODO: Technical reference to be found
### Inputs
The domain name to be tested.
### Ordered description of steps to be taken to execute the test case
1. Obtain the glue address records of the domain checked
using [Method4](../Methods.md)
2. Obtain the IP addresses of each name server of the domain checked
using [Method5](../Methods.md)
3. For each IP address, a recursive PTR query must be performed.
4. If any answer of the queries performed in step 3 contains an RCODE
other than NOERROR or if the answer does not include a PTR record,
this test case fails.
### Outcome(s)
If the test case succeeds, its result is a list of addresses with corresponding
hostnames which are the result of the PTR queries performed.
The result could be represented as a hash table where the keys are the IP
addresses and the values their corresponding hostnames.
### Special procedural requirements
None.
### Intercase dependencies
The outcomes of this test is used as the input of [ADDRESS03](address03.md) test case.
