[ale] OT: DNS Reverse still driving me nuts.

[Robert L. Harris]

First up, if anyone had a DNS/bind mailing list, feel free to send
me a link/majordomo addr.

Second, you you just wanna bitch I'm wasting BW because this isn't
Linux oriented, hush.  It's a Linux server and I don't have a DNS/bind
list.  Besides, in complaining about it, you're just wasting more.






Problem:
  I'm still trying to serve up the reverse DNS for my 1 static ip.
I'm on a 255.255.255.192 subnet apparantly.  I log into my DNS
server and do this:

{0}:wally:/etc/bind>nslookup
Default Server:  localhost.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
Address:  127.0.0.1

> set debug
> 63.81.181.233
Server:  localhost.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
Address:  127.0.0.1

;; res_nmkquery(QUERY, 233.181.81.63.in-addr.arpa, IN, PTR)
------------
Got answer:
    HEADER:
        opcode = QUERY, id = 30080, rcode = NXDOMAIN
        header flags:  response, want recursion, recursion avail.
        questions = 1,  answers = 0,  authority records = 1,  additional = 0

    QUESTIONS:
        233.181.81.63.in-addr.arpa, type = PTR, class = IN
    AUTHORITY RECORDS:
    ->  81.63.in-addr.arpa
        ttl = 10760 (2h59m20s)
        origin = auth00.ns.uu.net
        mail addr = hostmaster.uu.net
        serial = 991201
        refresh = 21600 (6H)
        retry   = 3600 (1H)
        expire  = 1728000 (2w6d)
        minimum ttl = 21600 (6H)

------------
*** localhost.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa can't find 63.81.181.233: Non-existent host/domain

------------------------------------

My named.conf has this relevant:

//
// Reverse for RnD
//      
zone "192/233.181.81.63.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
        notify no;
    file "db.63.81.181.233-192";
};  


---------------------------------------------

Here's the db.63 file:

{0}:wally:/etc/bind>cat db.63.81.181.233-192
$TTL 86400              ; Minimum TTL 1 day
;
@       IN      SOA     ns1.rdlg.net. mybox.rdlg.net. (
                200012011420      ; serial
                86400   ; refresh (1 day)
                7200    ; retry ( 2 hours)
                864000  ; expire (10 days)
                86400 )      ; minimum (1 day)
;
;
@               IN      NS      ns1.rdlg.net.
                IN      NS      ns2.rdlg.net.
;
; Reverses
;
233                             IN      PTR     rdlg.net.

I don't get any errors in my log file either:

HELP!!!!!   This is driving me nutz.  From everything I've read,
it should atleast work on my local DNS server.  Outside me, I 
think it ought to also..
