I am having this error in the RDNS configuration of my dedicated server:
The system failed to complete validation of “xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx”'s “PTR” because of an error: (XID h23c98) DNS returned “SERVFAIL” (code 2) in response to the system's query for “xxx.xx.xxx .xxx.in-addr.arpa”'s “PTR” records.

Could you help me find out what I'm doing wrong?

Hey there! Can you manually check the reverse DNS on the IP address with this command:

Code:
dig -x 1.2.3.4
where "1.2.3.4" is the IP address you're checking. If that returns the hostname, that would confirm the reverse DNS is set up properly.
