The server was upgraded from 10.5 from 10.6, during the upgrade the Reverse Zones were lost so I tried to recreate these but found that it's best to delete all zones, definitions and start again.
So I've started again and Reverse Zones are appearing but I'm still having issues. I receive the following errors (if they help)
01-Nov-2010 12:52:01.254 client 192.168.1.52#57051: view com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public: query (cache) 'server.dev.home.gateway/A/IN' denied
01-Nov-2010 12:59:24.487 client 192.168.1.52#52858: view com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public: query (cache) 'earth.server.dev.home.gateway/A/IN' denied
At the moment I have the following setup in the DNS
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone
192.168.1.100 Reverse Mapping MacPro-Server.local.
server.dev. Primary Zone
server.dev. Machine 192.168.1.100
earth.server.dev. Alias server.dev.

DNS is not my strong point, but it looks like your reverse mapping isn't configured correctly. It should be pointing to server.dev., not MacPro-Server.local.
Try
sudo changeip -checkhostname
, and you should get an answer like "The names match, nothing to change". If you don't, you'll need to fix that, which is also done via changeip.man changeip
for more examples.
