You need to make a change to the *reverse* zone, which I'll assume is
101.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Looks like you currently have a line in there
which reads
84 in ptr ns1
without any preceding $ORIGIN line. What it needs to be is:
84 in ptr ns1.mydomain.com.
(assuming that there are no preceding $ORIGIN lines at all. Note the
trailing period)
-or-
$ORIGIN mydomain.com.
84.101.168.192.in-addr.arpa. in ptr ns1
(More trailing periods).
Note that since the owner name and RDATA are in different domains, there's
no one $ORIGIN which will allow you to use relative names for *both*.
