My ISP just added reverse DNS to my ADSL line. Shields Up brought it to
my attention and I asked the ISP about it. They say I shouldn't be
concerned. And, that many sites will not allow access without it.
Shields Up says that any Web site I long on to can
recognized my computer without setting a cookie, as least as far as I
understand it. I try to keep most, if not all, cookies off of my
machine.
Maybe I'm paranoid.
What does conventional wisdom say about reverse DNS? I've run without
it for a long time and haven't seen any bad effects because of the lack
thereof.
Should I insist they disable it?
Thank you very much.
