- The reverse zone lookup is failing. Have you set up a reverse zone at
- all ? Is it properly delegated ?
-
- If your forward zone contains resource records like
-
- host.my.zone. IN A 127.126.125.124
-
- then you must have a reverse zone that can resolve
-
- 124.125.126.127.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR host.my.zone.
