Non-authoritative answer: 68.102.227.212.in-addr.arpa name = s15243155.onlinehome-server.info
102.227.212.in-addr.arpa nameserver = nsa2.schlund.de 102.227.212.in-addr.arpa nameserver = nsa.schlund.de nsa.schlund.de internet address = 195.20.224.98 nsa2.schlund.de internet address = 195.20.244.5
This really comes into play when fixing this error in ZoneCheck:
Reverse for the nameserver IP address doesn't match
ns1.xyz.net/86.xx.xx.194
To Fix this, click Start>Run>dnsmgmt.msc
Select Reverse Lookup zones, select the .in-addr.arpa.
Right Click, Select "New Pointer (PTR)", enter the first 3 digits of the IP into the "Host IP Address" and enter the nameserver domain into "Host name", then press OK
Which reads as €rts%2C/Tri%6Eity.txt%2ebak - €rts,/Trinity.txt.bak
As a quote from "http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~bgt/blog/bgt_mindscape_0805.php"
GET /nice%20ports%2C/Tri%6Eity.txt%2ebak HTTP/1.0
[...] Trinity.txt.bak, which is a file name chosen as one that the software developers are sure enough that can't be found on server and does provide with a 404 error message. Apparently this string in the logs suggests a probe by a piece of software calles Nmap ...
Ironically enough, the character "Trinity" from the Matrix uses NMap to hack into a powerstation "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TJuipCrjZQ", and possibly my DNS server also! :)
Google now offers DNS TXT records as a form of site verification, this can be done via a Windows DNS server as follows:
1. Open dnsmgmt.msc 2. Select your domain 3. Right click, select new domain 4. Enter the name & select the folder icon 5. Right click Other new records 6. Select TXT - you'll see:
Text (TXT) record. Holds a string of characters that serves as descriptive text to be associated with a specific DNS domain name. The semantics of the actual descriptive text used as data with this record type depends on the DNS domain where these records are located. (RFC 1035)
7. Press Create Record. 8. Leave the top box blank and copy the value listed in "Other" in Google's verficiation
When you've done saving the TXT record, click the Verify button below on this page.
Congratulations! Your new DNS TXT record now contains your security token. Keep in mind that changes to your DNS settings can take up to 24 hours to propagate through the Internet, but depending on your host, this can happen faster.
If you have trouble adding your TXT record, contact your domain host directly for further assistance. If you're not sure what to say, here's a sample explanation that you can email to your host or read over the phone.

We're excited to introduce today a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) service - Amazon Route 53. It is designed to give developers and businesses a reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services (AWS) -- such as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, or an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket -- and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS.
A reliable, cloud-based DNS service has been one of the most requested offerings by our customers. With Route 53, you can create a "hosted zone" to add DNS records for a new domain or transfer DNS records for a domain you currently own. Route 53 is also designed to work well with other AWS offerings, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). By using AWS IAM with Route 53, you can control who in your organization can make changes to your DNS records. In the future, we plan to add additional integration features such as the ability to automatically tie your Amazon Elastic Load Balancer instances to a DNS name, and the ability to route your customers to the closest EC2 region.
Route 53 is also designed to be fast and simple. It uses a global network of DNS servers to respond to end users with low latency and has an easy-to-use, self-service API. There are no long-term contracts or minimum usage commitments for using Route 53 - you pay $1.00 per month for the hosted zones you manage, $0.50 per million queries for the first billion queries, and $0.25 per million queries above a billion.
