Yes, the client is in my local lan.  I assume by 'zone file', this is my 
/etc/namedb/named.local file.

The client in question is wocker 192.168.0.99.  I have a section in my 
/etc/namedb/named.local file which contains:

$ORIGIN 0.168.192.IN-ADDR-ARPA

99	IN PTR	wocker.dvl-software.co.nz.

My upstream host nameserver is alien.xtra.co.nz 202.27.184.3
