You should find a record called

24	IN	PTR	str-r7500.gvc.domain.com.

on the slave. Note that BIND stores that below the current value of
$ORIGIN so that's fine and dandy. Query your slave for the PTR to verify
[ dig -x @slaveIP 172.16.84.24 ]

This sentence doesn't really make sense: updated dynamically vs added
manually? For the record, if you're using dynamic DNS updates to the
master, you should avoid editing the master zone file manually.
