Abstract
In one embodiment a method for receiving a request from a user to update a pointer record of a domain name system (DNS) in a DNS service includes issuing a query from the DNS service to a resource of a first service of the data center from the DNS service using a uniform resource indicator (URI) of the request corresponding to the resource, receiving a list of Internet protocol (IP) addresses in the DNS service from the first service, determining whether an IP address received in the request corresponds to one of the IP addresses of the list, and if so, enabling the user to update the pointer record.
