problem with some of my reverse look up zones

Fri May 12 19:41:23 UTC 2006

Hello,

we are running BIND 932 on windows 2003 and it looks as though some of my reverse lookup zones are not working, although many of htem are. As far as I can tell there are no differences in the named.conf or the individual zones. I am including the named.conf and the zone file below, with dummy data.

The error I get when I use nslookup to query an IP address, is "can't find x.x.x.x, non-existent domain". There are no errors in the event log.

Thanks
