[afnog] DNS Problem (PTR Records on different subnets fails)

[Maina M Noah]

Hi guys,

it is working now. I double checked and found a typo with the last dot on the host name to which i am creating the PTR for.

instead of  

2   IN      PTR    noaron.localhost.

i had 

2  IN      PTR    noaron.localhost

thanks though.

You did not include the output of dig.

What's the IP address of the name server where you have these 
zones?  What nameservers are listed in the /etc/resolv.conf file?  If 
the nameserver is running on the computer where you are doing the 
query, you should only have nameserver 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
