The default domain for this zone file is "16.172.in-addr.arpa". So, of
course, when you enter a relative host name like "myhost", you end up
with "myhost.16.172.in-addr.arpa".
In reverse-DNS zone files, you must use absolute host names, which are
fully qualified domain names followed by a ".".
1.3 IN PTR myhost.mydomain.mytld.

This is generally deprecated on this mailing list. Also, I hate it.
