Is the reverse lookup for 192.158.10.11 set up correctly? There should be an
entry like

    11.10.158.192.in-addr.arpa.     IN  PTR     your.nameserver.here.
    
or
    
    11      IN  PTR     your.nameserver.here.
        
in your zonefile for 10.158.192.in-addr.arpa.
        
I could at least reproduce your error by commenting the
corresponding entry in one of my nameservers zonefiles.

           Regards
