how to add a REverse PTR Record on Amazon Route 53?

Monday, October 6, 2014

if i have the below ip 168.144.254.X and i would like to add a ptr record in amazon in the form of

X.254.144.168.in-addr.arpa what should be in the name field and what should be in the
value field

i have a zone created with a name like mydomain.com which host the DNS records for my ip.

amazon wont let me add a value of X.254.144.168.in-addr.arpa in the name field

do i need to create a new zone for the ip in order to allow this?
