    How to Enable Reverse DNS Lookup?

    How does one enable reverse DNS lookup under IIS v7.0?  In v5 and v6, this was performed through either commands:

    adsutil set w3svc/EnableReverseDNS TRUE
    cscript adsutil.vbs set /wesvc/EnableReverseDNS "TRUE"

    However, this command is invalid for an IISv7 environment.  Likewise, I've found other documentation for IISv6 stating this could be accomplished through the STMP server configuration, as part of enhanced abilities to reduce spam.  However, I've found no navigation sequence under the IISv7 administrator that turns this ability on.

    Your assistance is appreciated.

    Re: How to Enable Reverse DNS Lookup?

    The IPv4 functionality fails to appear on my IISv7 feature list.  You can see a screen shot of my feature list at: http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=foo1id4.jpg  Now, compare this to, say, http://blogs.iis.net/nazim/archive/2008/05/03/using-ipv6-with-iis7.aspx  which shows a feature titled "IPv4 Addresses and Domain Restrictions" on IISv7.

    So, any idea why the IPv4 feature is not appearing as part of my IISv7 feature list?  Thanks for your help again.

    Make sure to install the ip and domain restrictions module.
