newbie. need definitive way to check reverse DNS
My hosting company manages DNS for my domain and insists they have set up reverse DNS for my domain, but I have my doubts.
I tried to verify it by going to dns oriented websites. Depending on the website I go to - the two I use are dnsstuff.com and samspade.org - I get two different answers. One site says reverse DNS is configured, the other one says no. How can I check this once and for all, and get an authoritative answer? Thank you.

Code:
dig -x 192.168.1.1 where 192.168.1.1 is the IP whose reverse DNS configuration you want to check. If it's set up correctly, you'll get lines similar to: Code:
;; ANSWER SECTION: 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 14400 IN PTR name.example.com. where name.example.com is the reverse DNS record for 192.168.1.1
