Thanks to everyone who helped me set this up a couple months back.
Hopefully this last question is easy.

SRI-MT's assigned address is 206.127.76.96/27, which consists of hosts
97-126 (96 and 127 are reserverd).

Here's the entry in /etc/namedb/named.boot.
primary   mt.sri.com                   newmt

Pretty basic.

However, how do I setup my Reverse DNS stuff?  I tried this, but it
didn't work.

primary   96.76.127.206.in-addr.arpa   newmt.rev

And, I can't use :
primary   76.127.206.in-addr.arpa   newmt.rev

Since there are lots of machines outside of our little 30 host slice
that we need to resolve as well.

The manpage wasn't obvious, and the ORA TCP/IP book didn't help either.
