	Well either it wasn't fine yesterday or someone made a
	change or both.  Take your pick.

	Well @ translates to the current ORIGIN.  You have set this
	to "in-addr.arpa" which does not match "67.92.204.in-addr.arpa"
	the name of the zone.

$ORIGIN 67.92.204.in-addr.arpa.

> @ IN SOA ns.techdreams.com. support.techdreams.com. (

I can't see why you want this PTR here as the owner is 67.92.204.in-addr.arpa.

If you really what the full reverse address add $ORIGIN in-addr.arpa. here.
Normally however you would not do this but leave the origin as the name of
the zone and just have the last octet.

e.g.
	50	IN	PTR ns.techdreams.com.

> 50.67.92.204    IN      PTR     ns.techdreams.com.
> 50.67.92.204    IN      PTR     www.techdreams.com.
> 50.67.92.204    IN      PTR     ftp.techdreams.com.
> 50.67.92.204    IN      PTR     mail.techdreams.com.

	Also you only need one PTR record.  Pick a name for this box and
	use it, usually this will be the name the box knows itself as.
	You don't have to have a PTR for every A.
