Hi team, could you please create Reverse DNS Name for controllers’ IPv6 addresses, such as [2a13:27c0:1c:d00:26d6:fe95:acb7:2e9a] or [2a13:27c0:1c:d00:2cef:d26c:6ad1:1993] so that in traceroute or router logs it will show as “[ctr-dub-sw01.atlas.prod.ripe.net](http://ctr-dub-sw01.atlas.prod.ripe.net)” accordingly, instead if plain IPv6 address? ---

Sure, it should not be a big problem to add it ---

I was informed that unfortunately we cannot do this, so I’m afraid the “names” will stay the addresses as IPs. Apologies for this.
