You will need to have a reverse entry. In your named.conf the entry will look
like:
zone "0.0.0.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "path/to/the/file";
};
and inside the reverse file the entry should look like:
000 PTR nameofyourserver
of course 000 will be the last bit of your IP.
Hope this helps,
Corey
