But that still does not make sense. As written, he saying that
datasphereweb.com.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa has an nameserver of
truman.datasphereweb.com. If he ends the name with a '.' it says that
datasphereweb.com has an nameserver of truman.datasphereweb.com. But
uh, why are you telling us who is the nameserver for
truman.datasphereweb.com in 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa's domain file?

Of course, those datasphereweb.com entries should be null so that the
NS records refer to the 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain.
