12The IP Database can pass reverse DNS information back and forth to a DNS management backend to simplify
13maintenance of the reverse DNS records associated with the IPs being managed.</p>
14
15<p>Several shortcuts can be used when specifying a pattern for an IPv4 netblock, which will be expanded to
16actual DNS records by the DNS management system.</p>

[649]36<p> %i and %r also allow explicitly defining the separator; eg %.i
37or %_r. '.', '-', and '_' are the only characters<br>
38supported since DNS names may not contain most other
39non-alphanumerics.</p>
