Set reverse DNS

PUT 

/instances/:uuid/rdns

Sets reverse DNS for the instance's primary address in one address family. That family must have a primary IP. Characters outside ASCII letters, digits, periods, underscores, and hyphens are removed from answer before it is applied.

Omitting answer, sending an empty string, or sending text that becomes empty after normalization resets reverse DNS: IPv4 reverts to its default hostname, and IPv6 has its PTR record removed. The response echoes the normalized input, including an empty string for a reset. Use GET /instances/{uuid}/rdns to read the resulting record.

Required scope: instance:write.
