What is going on here? > Is my zonefile setup improperly? Yes, it is. This isn't how RFC2317 delegation works. What you need to do, is in the zonefile for customfilmeffects.com, add in this record : h-66-134-82-178 IN PTR rotini.customfilmeffects.com. That's it. You don't need a separate in-addr.arpa zone at all, as Pacbell are running that zone - they just add in CNAMEs that point to your PTR records in the customfilmeffects.com zone.
