I have setup (I thougth) a FreeBSD (2.1.5) server with name server, and I'm 
able to connect to the internet (I'm sending this from a machine 
connected to the server).  The name server works finding addresses, but I 
was trying to connect to ftp://ftp.uu.net and this is the message I 
received: (part of it)

 Sorry, we're unable to map your IP address 206.48.253.70 to a hostname
 in the DNS.  This is probably because your nameserver does not have
 matching A and PTR record for your address in its tables, or because
 your reverse nameservers are not registered.

Whe I do a 'nslookup 206.48.253.70' it responds with si1.hon.hn but when I 
do a 'nslookup 206.48.253.70 my.isp.ns' it responds with 'my.isp.ns can't 
find 206.48.253.70: Non-existent host/domain'.  If I do a 'nslookup 
si1.hon.hn my.isp.ns' it responds with si1.hon.hn and 206.48.253.70.

What can I fix the error?

Thanks
