For me, the list is called bind-users, not bind-discussion. BIND discussion 
would be a higher echelon than a user list. I'm a bind user and I have a Domain 
Name Server problem, somewhere, that I have been trying to solve for a long 
time and am going over my steps once again. I need to get my webserver online 
and there is a problem with the name or lookup or the router. I have not found 
any errors in httpd, bind or the router configuration that have solved it. The 
latest hint I got was an ostensible missing in-addr.arpa PTR record, which, to 
me, made it relevant to BIND.

The ports forwarded to the 192.168.0.101 webserver are unchanged since 2005; 
dns, http and ssh to appropriate ports. The router did change, the static ips 
changed, as well as the physical location of the network and servers. I don't 
know what the issue is, that's why I asked about including explicit PTR files 
to the domain name, as well as the localhost in-addr.arpa, which is the latest 
in a list of "possible irregularities" I have turned up so far that I need to 
confirm one way or the other.

I do appreciate you taking valuable time to answer. I have to wade into it all 
again. I hope I am still welcome to ask questions here as I have seen others 
do, since I subscribed to this list in an effort to learn about BIND and DNS, a 
number of years ago.
