All of these PTR records are syntactically incorrect. They should say, for
example:
34 IN PTR zeus.idws.com.
or
34.160.4.216.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR zeus.idws.com.
> tonyds.co.za
> @ IN SOA zeus.idws.com. hostmaster.zeus.idws.com. (
> 99102405 ;
> 10800 ;
> 3600 ;
> 3600000 ;
> 86400 ) ;
> IN NS zeus.idws.com.
> IN NS apollo.idws.com.
> IN A 216.4.160.34
> IN PTR 216.4.160.38
This PTR record is 1) in the wrong file and 2) in the wrong syntax. Delete
it.
