Change the address in /etc/resolv.conf.

In named.conf, change
	zone "198.88.0.in-addr.arpa" in  {
to
	zone "0.88.198.in-addr.arpa" in  {

In file "pz/0.88.198", edit: g/198.88.0/s//0.88.198/g.  In fact, I'd
change it all to:

/pz/0.88.198 file:

@	IN SOA	glr.cap.gov. wwebb.adni.net. (
		1999120701
		86400
		10800
		2592000
		86400 )

; Name servers
	IN NS	glr.cap.gov.

; Addresses point to canonical name
1	IN PTR	ns1.cap.gov.
2	IN PTR	glr.cap.gov.
