Reverse dns not working

Hello everyone.  I'm a bit new to the DNS world and am having trouble
with reverse dns.  I'm using a FreeBSD system with Bind ver. 8.  I'm
going to show the files in /etc/namedb shortly.   I also substituted the
real Ips with 3.2.1.*   and the real domain name with domain.com.   In
the current format the only reverse dns that works is on 3.2.1.66 which
returns www.domain.com, I need help with  getting reverse DNS to work
for 3.2.1.67, 3.2.1.68, and 3.2.1.70

I greatly appreciate all your help,  Thanks a million.

Here are the files:

domain.com
