Our ISP delegated our ips for reverse lookup to our name servers but I an=
 not
quite sure, that I have the reverse DNS setup right.  The number of IPs w=
e
have is less then /24 so...

In my named.conf, do I need a zone per host for example hosts 12.45.1.1, =
and
12.24.1.2:
 =

zone "1.1.45.12" {
    type master;
    file "12.45.1.1.rev";
};

zone "2.1.45.12" {
    type master;
    file "12.45.1.2.rev";
};

and in each .rev file one line:
    1    IN PTR  hostname1.domain.net
    2    IN PTR  hostname2.domain.net

Or can I do the whole zone (which seems to work fine with the masters, bu=
t the
slave complain that I an not authoratative for the zone and won't transfe=
r)
like so:

zone "1.45.12" {
    type master;
    file "12.45.1.rev";
};

and in 12.24.1.rev list:
    1    IN PTR  hostname1.domain.net
    2    IN PTR  hostname2.domain.net
