Yes, it is in the RRs record:
first this:
borage.com.  IN A 161.184.118.115
mail.borage.com. IN A 161.184.118.115  ; EXTREF
here is the offending line:
115.118.184.161.in-addr.arpa.,type = PTR  host = mail.borage.com

Here is the NSLINT error:
Go back and fix these errors:
nslint: .//tmp/borage.com.959147732:28 "115.118.184.161.in-addr.arpa.,type"
outside zone borage.com.
nslint: .//tmp/borage.com.959147732:28 unknown record type "="
nslint: .//tmp/borage.com.959147732:29 unknown record type "="
nscheck: illegal RR class:
	host = mail.borage.com


Thanks for your look at this.
