Sure there is. But the reverse zone is called 194.134.41.in-addr.arpa, and it's using a file of the same name: named-checkzone 194.134.41.in-addr.arpa 194.134.41.in-addr.arpa > Please can you try to ping ns[1-2].metropolitanbuntu.co.za from your > side to see if the DNS responding? I can't look up that name. It looks like it might not be properly delegated to your nameservers... When I check towards coza1.dnsnode.net for example, I'm told that metropolitanbuntu.co.za is handled by ns1.serve-hosting.net and ns1.serve-hosting.net - according to those two servers, the hostnames ns1 or ns2.metropolitanbuntu.co.ca don't exist: Eivind-mac:~ eivind$ dig any ns1.metropolitanbuntu.co.za. @ns2.serve-hosting.net ; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> any ns1.metropolitanbuntu.co.za. @ns2.serve-hosting.net ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 64015 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns1.metropolitanbuntu.co.za.
