    Clients can set reverse DNS from Virtualizor, if your host supports delegating rdns.

    So , If I'm using rental dedicated servers (like hetzner,..) I can't provide rDNS for my clients.Right?

    You need to get an IP block from them, and not just use their IP pool i think.

    I think that you will need to use their API in order to accomplish this

    SolusVM also have that, you can add a PowerDNS server & point your IP block on PowerDNS's IPs/Nameservers. Then your clients will be able to update PTR records themself :)

    Thanks to all
    So PowerDNS is all about rDNS and PTR Records.

    Yes, but it can also do DNS records for normal domains (A/AAAA/MX).

    PowerDNS also has far, far nicer stats, if that's the sort of thing that matters to you.

    PowerDNS is same as bind9 or similar packages, but powerdns have mysql (and other databases) support and cool control panel Poweradmin - for me powerdns looks much more better then bind and others.
    PowerDNS is DNS server which one support lot of: DNS options(PTR, A, AAAA, AFSDB, CERT, CNAME, DHCID, DLV, DNSKEY, DS, EUI48, EUI64, INFO, IPSECKEY, KEY, KX, LOC , MINFO. MR, MX, NAPTR, NSEC, NSEC3, NSEC3PARAM, OPT, PTR, RKEY, RP, RRSIG, SOA, SPF, SRV. SSHFP, TLSA, TSIG, TXT, WKS ), DNSsec, recursion, replication and other futures.

    i think its the best dns server what you can find, also it can be configured as CDN server. We use it on our datacenter, it have DOS/flood protection (i`have not tested it because we filtered it) how i already told i think its best opensource dns server

    1 package, for all DNS futures

    you can control PTR records if your DNS server configured in APNIC, ARIN, RIPE NCC, LACNIC, AFRINIC database - it can be done only by ip space owner
