reverse DNS question

Interesting...  I had seen those different formats mentioned in other
posts, but I didn't realize it had to match what PacBell used.  They did
not specify a format for me to use.  I will contact them to find out how
they set us up.

Thanks!
Chris.

Can't tell for sure if this if your problem based on what you provided
but
since the isp's use cnames for delegation (if smaller then a class c)
the
zones in your named.conf need to exactly match what PacBell used (and
told
you). Your zone file need to reflect this as well, which I don't think
it
does.  This is what got me in the past since different isp's use
different
formats.  Here's some of the different variations I've had to use.
zone "160-191.62.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa"
zone "64/27.6.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa"
zone "82.170.xxx.in-addr.arpa"
