I see you have time to waste saying strange things

dns zones even forard or reverse are downloaded as configured from masters to slaves or where are needed

all other remarks are confirmations of what said

I see u have time to waste ................ is clear 🤔😄

thanks to have said same things as mine

ptr zones are the same way delegated as any other zones

no

dns zones are not downloaded

that don't scale given that most customers just have a single IP

in case you have a /24 the ISP can delegate the whole zone to you, look
at the authoritative nameservers below

for consumer ranges: yes

if you run a mailserver it is a must, at least when you care to deliver
your mails, as well make sure your HELO-hostname matches too

many sites add at least points to the sapm scoring for clients like that:

warning: hostname szkoleniagospodarka.pl does not resolve to address
51.75.72.176: Name or service not known

well, in case of servers i prefer PTR/A matching no matter if it is
supposed to send mail and the same goes for internal networks i maintain
