What is the purpose of the inverse domain?

Answer Posted / pinar uyanik

Inverse domain is used to map an address to a name.

For instance, if a server receives a request from a client
and this server has only the ip addresses of the clients in
its list then the server needs to find out if this client
is on its authorized client list.

In order to determine if the client is on the authorized
client list,server asks its resolver to query to the DNS
server to map an address to name.

And this type of querys are called inverse query(pointer
query -PTR).
