192.100.1 is owned by the following. Have they delegated DNS to you for
reverse lookups?

If you just put 192.100.1 as a placeholder below, then I would still look at
whether the DNS for your IPs has been delegated to the right name server.
Try something like:
dig +trace 2.1.100.192.in-addr.arpa
and see where it stops or fails.
Good luck,
