PTR for Reverse DNS issues

[apurvis@instruct]

I’m hoping someone can help me. I’m trying to setup my Leopard server to handle DNS reverse IP lookups on our half class C address range. I think I have everything entered correctly. By default the GUI wants to auto setup for the full class C range .1 – .255. We only have .128 on. Our ISP has set us up as the SOA for both our zones and the IP range 128/25.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa.

I’ve tried to create a zone file with this name which of course give me issues with the / so I’ve changed the zone file name to 128-25.xxx…

And everything looks correct and no other errors but this one comes up about ignoring out of zone data:

21-Mar-2008 16:04:30.524 db.128-25.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa.:12: ignoring out-of-zone data (212.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa)

This is the only IP I care about reversing as it’s our mail server.

My setup is as follows and may not be the correct approach so please correct me:

I’ve made an entry in publicView.conf.apple (it says not to but I get errors about using views, if I make an entry directly in named.conf)

zone “128/25.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa” {
type master;
file “db.128-25.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa.”;
allow-transfer {any;};
allow-update {none;};
};

My Zone file looks like:

$TTL 10800
128/25.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA dns.domain.net. apurvis.domain.net. (
2008032100 ;Serial
86400 ;Refresh
3600 ;Retry
604800 ;Expire
345600 ;Negative caching TTL
)

128/25.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa. IN NS dns.domain.net.

212.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR mail.domain.net.

My ISP is setup their system to pull zone data from my DNS server. This is working fine for my domain names (zones) but not for the reverse ip.

Thank you!
