rDNS/DNS problem

[Chris Buxton]

Here's your problem:

123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	hall-brothers.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	nopeakerplant.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	showshirtsusa.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	friedrich-family.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	www.light-family.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	dns1.light-family.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	hysl.org.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	mail.light-family.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	o-dowd.net.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	valrey.net.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	cakables.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	miss-light.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	abcshirtusa.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	siteviewing.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	siteviewing.net.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	soccer-mail.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	abcshirtsusa.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	light-family.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	light-valrey.com.
123.120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR	showshirtusa.com.

Get rid of all of these except the one that refers to mail.light- 
family.com.

(The long owner name of this RRSet is due to CNAME redirection, a la  
RFC 2317.)

BTW: In your SOA record for this zone, you need to add dots to the  
ends of the first two values after "SOA". You currently, effectively,  
have this:

120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN	SOA	dns1.light-family.com. 
120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. webmaster.light-family.com. 
120.156.124.66.in-addr.arpa. 2004032920 7200 3600 604800 7200
