Server running, but problems exist

[Andy Pieters]

Hi 
I can now resolve the ns1, root, and others!

However I do not get the excpected result when doing a reverse lookup
[root at terra:/var/named/chroot/var/named]# host 81.220.168.250 localhost
Using domain server:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

250.168.220.81.in-addr.arpa has no PTR record

Or with dig
root at terra:/var/named/chroot/var/named]# dig -x 81.220.168.250 localhost

; <<>> DiG 9.3.0beta4 <<>> -x 81.220.168.250 localhost

Which means dig received this information from another dns server, meaning 
that I need to add this pointer somewhere?


With kind regards
