Thanks Barry for the heads up on the email etiquette its been a while
since I have last posted to mail lists. I will provide the proper
information next time. Anyway, I actually solved the problem earlier.
It turned out to be a Reverse DNS Delegation problem with my ISP. They
will be forwarding my IP Block onto my name servers and that should
take care of the reverse lookup problem Im getting on my external IPs.
Thanks much,
DK

You haven't provided any details of the types of errors you're
getting,
so I don't know how you expect anyone to help you. And what do you
mean
by "both of my reverse lookups"? That wording suggests that there are
two specific reverse lookups that you always do, and they're both
failing, but that doesn't help us understand the problem.
No one wants you to send them your config files directly, unless you
hire them as a consultant. Post some example "dig" commands (please,
not "nslookup") and your config files to the group.
