Add the line

microumar.mydomain.net.  A  63.65.171.4

to /var/named/hosts.  Add the line:

4.171.65.63.in-addr.arpa.  PTR  microumar.mydomain.net.

to /var/named/hosts.rev.

This assumes your named.boot file contains something like:

primary mydomain.net /var/named/hosts
primary 63.in-addr.arpa /var/named/hosts.rev
