Make sure that all entries are in true reverse format. And make sure
that all names end with "."s. E.g.:
If hoopla.happy.local maps to 10.198.40.17, then:
17.40.198 IN PTR hoopla.happy.local.
If patrik.astrom.family maps to 10.42.111.86, then:
86.111.42 IN PTR patrik.astrom.family.
As Cricket illustrated, the $ORIGIN must be 10.in-addr.arpa. for the
above examples to work. You can change $ORIGIN to some sub-domain of
the above, but it will STAY that way until changed.
Hope this might help.
