Maybe a delegation problem ?

	Yup, it's a delegation problem.

	When you took over primary nameservice for your domain, you had 
to contact the registration authority to get them to change the 
delegation to your nameservers.  Now, you need to contact the company 
that issued you that network address space (presumably L3) and get 
them to delegate to you the authority for serving reverse DNS for 
your IP addresses.

	See RFC 2317 at <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2317.html>, and 
search the archive for this mailing list for details.
