I also have my own domain, and am running named to resolve the name of my machine. This works fine, requesting 'brann.org' resolves to the correct address. I am having trouble with the reverse resolution (i.e. converting my IP address back into the hostname). All the examples I have are based on converting whole networks, is there something different about the '.rev' file when only resolving one address?
