   1. Make sure there is a reverse PTR zone

   slcli --format=json call-api SoftLayer_Network_Subnet getReverseDomainRecords --id=<SUBMET ID>  --mask="mask[resourceRecords[data,id,host,domainId]]"
   
   [
     {
       "id": 1975225,
       "name": "2.d.0.0.1.0.e.1.0.d.0.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa",
       "networkAddress": "2607:f0d0:1e01:00d2:0000:0000:0000:0000",
       "resourceRecords": [
         {
           "data": "2607.f0d0.1e01.00d2.0000.0000.0000.0000-ip6.static.sl-reverse.com.",
           "domainId": 1975225,  # DOMAIN ID
           "host": "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0",
           "id": 150062376  # RECORD ID
         },
   ...
   

   2. IF there is no zone, create one.

   slcli call-api SoftLayer_Network_Subnet createReverseDomainRecords --id=<SUBNET ID>
   

   3. Edit each zone to update the data field. You will need the id and domainId properties for the next command

   slcli -v dns record-edit --by-id <RECORD ID> --data somefakehost.ibmtest.com <DOMAIN ID>
   

   OR with curl

   curl -u $SL_USER:$SL_APIKEY -X POST -H "Accept: */*" -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress" -d '{"parameters": [{"data": "somefakehost.ibmtest.com", "domainId": <DOMAIN ID>,
   "expire": null, "host": "e.7.f.f.f.f.f.f.f.f.f.f.f.f.f.f", "id": <RECORD ID>, "minimum": null, "mxPriority": null, "refresh": null, "retry": null, "ttl": 86400, "type": "ptr"}]}'
   'https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord/<RECORD ID>/editObject.json'
   

   Same process for a IPv4 address
