If you are trying to do this for less then a /24 block the zone files get messy quick because of the 8bit boundaries. You seem to be trying to do this for a /16. I'll bet you're missing the named.conf entries and related reverse zone files:
Odds are you'll want to have zones: zone "1.30.172.in.addr.arpa" { type master; file "master/1.30.172.in.addr.arpa notify yes; } .... zone "255.30.172.in.addr.arpa" { ;; or slave config since you'll have more than 1 ns type slave; file "slave/255.30.172.in.addr.arpa"; masters { x.y.z.a; }; } Or some larger splits of that. You're going to have give me a netmask for more help. $ORIGIN . $TTL 3600 ; 1 hour 0.28.172.in-addr.arpa IN SOA ns1.rws. admin.Z. ( 2007101800 ; Serial 10800 ; refresh (3 hours) 3600 ; retry (1 hour) 3600 ; expire (1 hour) 86400 ; minimum (1 day) ) NS ns1.Z. $ORIGIN 0.28.172.in-addr.arpa. 1 PTR router.Z. ...... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip M.
