Can someone help with bind error message please

Hash: SHA1

With the octets reversed, which is important. Unless that behavior
changed in BIND 9, but I don't think so (don't have any BIND 8 box to
try on right now.)

At least in BIND 9, ``dig -x 1.2.3.4'' sends a PTR query for
4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa.

(That particular entry is most likely moderately useful, but :))
