Could be you're right: nslookup 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa Server: gw.onscreen.zzz Address: 192.168.1.1 *** gw.onscreen.zzz can't find 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa: Server failed An nslookup with ls -d 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa doesn't fail, though. /var/named/onscreen.zzz/192.168.1 : @ IN SOA ns.onscreen.zzz. root.onscreen.zzz. ( 2000112202 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 14400 ; retry 3600000 ; expire 86400 ; default_ttl ) NS ns.onscreen.zzz. 1 IN PTR gw.onscreen.zzz. 2 IN PTR ns.onscreen.zzz. 3 IN PTR mail.onscreen.zzz. 4 IN PTR www.onscreen.zzz. 5 IN PTR scumbag.onscreen.zzz. Snip from named.conf : zone "1.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA"{ type master; file "192.168.1"; notify no; }; But I fail to see where I've failed. Looks a lot like the ex. in DNS-HOWTO.
