Hello. Recently I got a DSL link with a /29. I asked my ISP for
in-addr.arpa authority for my 5 IPs and supposedly they gave it to me.
However 'dig @ns1.swbell.net -xc 208.188.197.97' returns:

	;; ANSWER SECTION:
	97.197.188.208.in-addr.arpa.  2H IN CNAME  97.96.197.188.208.in-addr.arpa.
	
	;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
	197.188.208.in-addr.arpa.  2H IN NS  ns1.swbell.net.
	
Here is what I think is relevant in my "named.conf":

	zone "96.197.188.208.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        	type master;
	        file "reverse/208.188.197.96.zone";
	        allow-transfer { 151.164.1.1; };   
	};

and here is my "reverse/208.188.197.96.zone":

	$ORIGIN  197.188.208.in-addr.arpa.   
	@               IN      SOA     NOC.maKintosh.com.
	john.NOC.maKintosh.com. (
	                                1999111208      ; serial
	                                1h              ; refresh
	                                30m             ; retry
	                                7d              ; expiration
	                                1h)             ; minimum
	                        NS      NOC.maKintosh.com.
	                        IN      NS      ns1.swbell.net.
	                        IN      NS      ns2.swbell.net.
	97                      PTR     NOC.maKintosh.com.
	98                      PTR     slappy.mocker.org.

Is my ISP doing something wrong? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for
the help.
