Can I ask AWS to add PTR DNS record for allocated EIP?

0

My services need the PTR record, I don't know where to add, should I ask AWS support to add the PTR DNS record for my allocated EIP? or I have to use Route 53 service etc. to do this?

From the expert's answer I know we can use AWS console to add PTR if I have an A records in Route 53 hosted zone, but my situation is: my domain name is managed by another DNS service provider, rather than AWS, so I cannot create the A record in AWS Route 53. Any thought?

You can actually request this via the Console or CLI. Just follow the instructions located in the EC2 documentation.

Note that you must first configure a corresponding A (forward) DNS record first that points in the opposite direction, and the names of the A and PTR records must match.

    Thanks for your answer Michael. My situation is: my domain name is managed by another DNS service provider, rather than AWS. I cannot create the forward zone in AWS Route 53

    That's OK. All that matters is that AWS can find the A record that already points to the EIP address. Your domain's records do not have to be served by Route 53.
