Dig shows wrong ip at server:

hi everyone..
ive got jabbered notification callback non existing host error in log.

jan 17 21:49:29 server jabberd_notification/c2s[156]: [8] [::ffff:192.168.12.205, port=62298] connect
jan 17 21:49:29 server jabberd_notification/c2s[156]: sasl callback non-existing host: serv.mydomain.com
jan 17 21:49:29 server jabberd_notification/c2s[156]: [8] [::ffff:192.168.12.205, port=62298] disconnect jid=unbound, packets: 0

guess has reverse dns. sudo changeip -checkhostname shows no errors. tried dig -x , got this:

looks fine (to knowlagde), i'm wondering if server: should not state 192.168.12.205 ip?

many thanks.

 

this ip address :-

serv.mydomain.com. 10800 in 192.168.12.205

in means record
in cname means alias

entry in red server dig queried, if don't specify server uses loopback address or if set via dhcp dns server address.

;; server: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)

if want dig query server you'd have use

dig -x @otherserver 192.168.12.205
