I'm trying to setup a slave DNS server but the reverse mapping doesn't seem to resolve.
When I try 'nslookup nslookup 94.249.214.137' it returns
Server: 66.96.208.21
Address: 66.96.208.21#53
** server can't find 137.214.249.94.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN
I've tried setting up a reverse zone, but it still doesn't work.
$ttl 38400
137.214.249.94.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ns2.madtek.co.za. xxx.xxx.xxx. (
1338041739
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
137.214.249.94.in-addr.arpa. IN NS ns2.madtek.co.za.
137.214.249.94.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ns2.madtek.co.za.
Can anyone help please?

The nameserver which resolves the PTR records for that subnet is
ns1.ghostdns.de
which, I'm guessing, you do not operate. It looks like it is operated by hostmaster@ghostnet.de.You need to contact whoever does operate that nameserver and ask them to add a PTR entry for
137.214.249.94.in-addr.arpa
