reverse name resolution is not working outside of your own name
servers...

ex.
#########################################################
% nslookup
Default Server:  localhost.multinet-media.com
Address:  127.0.0.1

> server ns2.uncanny.net
Default Server:  ns2.uncanny.net
Address:  140.174.20.7

> 140.174.20.7
Server:  ns2.uncanny.net
Address:  140.174.20.7

Name:    ns2.uncanny.net
Address:  140.174.20.7

> server ns1.root.com
Default Server:  ns1.root.com
Address:  209.102.106.178

> 140.174.20.7
Server:  ns1.root.com
Address:  209.102.106.178

*** ns1.root.com can't find 140.174.20.7: Server failed

#########################################################

whoever is responsible for the IP block(s, classes) you are using would
need to add
PTR records; as they are the authority ( there is a record for ns1 ).
Having
reverse lookup on your own nameservers is a good thing to have, but
that's
not where the rest of the world is going to query from, unless they're
using your DNS.

or supposedly an entry like...

140.174.20.254    IN    NS    ns2.uncanny.net.

in the 20.174.140.in-addr records ( on the providers nameserver ) will
work.
This would (supposedly) cause remote queries to be redirected to your
namesever.  I've never tried it, though.

Good Luck,
-Drew
