Assuming 208.18.212.108 is the alias-address on your device and the
DNS-entry it should resolve to is banana.panthernet.com
Yes, you'll need to change the database on the nameserver, that is
authoritative for your IP-addresses. That means, connect to your
authoritative nameserver, then:
1. Find the RAR-file where the resolution for 212.18.208.IN-ADDR.ARPA
is done.
2. Add the following entry:
108 in ptr banana.panthernet.com
3. Find the zone-file for panthernet.com
4. Add the following entry:
banana in a 208.18.212.108
Send named a HUP-signal.
On the other hand, if you just want a transparent alias, then in
step 2. just pointer the alias-address to the DNS-name that belongs
to the IP-address the device in question was ifconfig'ed with in the
first place.
