That chapter doesn't show any PTR records, for the reverse zones of
any *public* address range, pointing back to a "localhost" name. It
only shows a PTR record in the reverse zone for the 127.0.0/24 private
range, which is what enables a reverse lookup for 127.0.0.1. Your ISP
isn't (or shouldn't be) hosting reverse zones for any range under the
127/8 private block, on your behalf. That's your responsibility; hence
the term "private".
And, as Tony mentioned, these days it's highly questionable whether
"localhost" entries in *any* zone, forward or reverse, serve any
useful purpose, and may actually cause harm.

Hi,
This book :
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/dns-and-bind/0596100574/ch04.html
says I should manage the localhost within my zone (SOA) and reverse
lookup / PTR.
I do not manage my revers lookup / PTR the IP owner does that.
Any thoughts on managing the localhost within the zone file and PTR?
Thanks!!
