Reverse lookups failing

[Mark Andrews]

> I'm using Bind 9.2.3-76 on a Suse server.  Forward lookups work fine.
> When I try to do a reverse lookup by IP address from my internal
> network using "host 192.168.5.14", I get a "Host
> 14.5.168.192.in-addr.arpa not found:  2(SERVFAIL)" error message.  I've
