I generated that with glbindadmin. Bind loads it sucessfully and runs
with it. The forward zone equivalent works. But I get this:

What is the named.conf zone definition? If it's "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa",
then your problem is that you're double-defining the first 3 octets
192.168.1.
Your zone file should probably look like:
47 IN PTR phoenix.localdomain.
etc.
Or else you may be able to define the zone file as applying to
"in-addr.arpa" and use your zone file as is, but that seems ill-advised,
since it would break all other reverse lookups for anywhere not defined in
your zone file.
