An RPZ Substitute (PTR Record) Rule object represents a Pointer (PTR) resource record. To define a specific address-to-name mapping, add an RPZ Substitute (PTR Record) Rule to a previously defined Response Policy Zone.
This record represents the substitution rule for DNS PTR records.
References to record:rpz:ptr are object references. The name part of an Substitute (PTR Record) Rule object reference has the following components:
- Name of the record
- Name of the view
Example: record:rpz:ptr/ZG5zLmJpsaG9zdA:1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/external
The object does not support the following operations:
The object cannot be managed on Cloud Platform members.
These fields are actual members of the object; thus, they can be requested by using _return_fields, if the fields are readable.
The basic version of the object contains the field(s): ptrdname, view.
The following fields are required to create this object:
| Field | Notes |

| ipv4addr | The field is required only for an IPv4 PTR object. |
| ipv6addr | The field is required only for an IPv6 PTR object. |
| name | See the field description for more information |
