I ran into this problem. I found that I needed to run reverse lookups for
the IP addresses of mine that were name servers..
Using a class C of 123.456.789.0
in named.conf
zone "789.456.123.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "hosts.rev";
};
in hosts.rev where 123.456.789.1 is your first nameserver, and
123.456.789.6 is another host or nameserver.
@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. root.ns1.domain.com. (
20000729 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
900 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
IN NS ns1.domain.com.
1 IN PTR ns1.domain.com.
6 IN PTR second_host.domain.com
then killall -HUP named..
That should do it for you.
