BIND9 reverse DNS, /16 zone

binddomain-name-systemreverse-dns

I'm trying to set up a reverse zone for the entire 10.200.x.x/16 subnet. I've configured everything according to named.conf and several different blog posts, but no luck.

Note that the A-records resolve correctly, the problem is reverse lookups.

Can anyone spot any configuration errors?

named.conf:

zone "200.10.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file "/etc/bind/master/10.200.reverse";
};

10.200.reverse:

$TTL 3600
@                       IN SOA  dhcpns01.guest.domain.com. admin.domain.com. (
                                2011022106 ; serial
                                10800      ; refresh (3 hours)
                                3600       ; retry (1 hour)
                                604800     ; expire (1 week)
                                38400      ; minimum (10 hours 40 minutes)
                                )
; name servers
                        NS      dhcpns01.guest.domain.com.
; hosts
0.10                    PTR     dhcpns01.guest.domain.com.

dig -t ptr 10.200.0.10 @127.0.0.1

It looks like your entry is for 10.200.10.0, not 10.200.0.10.

Try:

 10.0                    PTR     dhcpns01.guest.domain.com.

EDIT: You might want to try the dig like this:

dig -t ptr 10.0.200.10.in-addr.arpa. @127.0.0.1

OR

dig -x 10.200.0.10 @127.0.0.1
