create a new zone called "xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa" where the x's are your
IP rang backwards. Example: if my IP range is 100.200.300.0 then my
in-addr.arpa would be 300.200.100.in-addr.arpa. After you have created that
reverse lookup zone then you will be able to check the "create PTR record"
box when you create new records in your forward zones and NT DNS will do the
rest for you. The you can look at the records it creates and it should
become clear what you have to do to add more PTR records for hosts you
already set up previously.
