PTR & SOA - adding new domain

[Tony Da Silva]

Hi All,
 
We are moving our sites from a hosting company onto our own server - with the main domain being idws.com
I am trying to test out machine by registering the domain tonyds.co.za - but I am getting error messages.
I will include the set-up of the DNS here, as well as the error messages I am getting from the registrar:
 
ERROR MESSAGE FROM REGISTRAR:
Nameservers/MX Records - etc

Primary Server  : zeus.idws.com @ 216.4.160.34
Secondary 1     : apollo.idws.com @ 216.4.160.38
There is no pre-existing SOA record for tonyds.co.za.
There is/are no pre-existing MX record for "tonyds.co.za."

CHECKING: Primary Server is zeus.idws.com at 216.4.160.34
WARN: No PTR records?  - INFO: At 216.4.160.34

CHECKING: secondary 1 is apollo.idws.com at 216.4.160.38
WARN: No PTR records?  - INFO: At 216.4.160.37
!
! The message "No PTR records?" means that when your application was
! scanned, the program tried to convert the IP Number that you gave for
! you Nameserver (or Mail eXchange Server) into a "name" - but failed.
! This is usually because no one has set up any reverse domain
! information, ie the bit that converts numbers to names.  If this is
! not set up - then you may have trouble later on with security
! validation or when tring to use FTP to many sites - so its worth
! fixing...  If it has been set up - then it has NOT been successfully
! delegated to.  Ask your Internet Service Provider what this means.

There is no SOA record for tonyds.co.za. at 216.4.160.34
The Host is reachable - 3 out of 3 pings returned
!
! The most common reason for this is that no one has got around to
! setting this machine up yet as a Primary or Secondary server yet...
! or has simply forgotten to do so.  However, if this problem is not
! fixed soon, access to your domain may be hindered by 'Lame
! Delegations' - which I'd rather not explain about - so please get
! someone to do something about this now?

**note: the PTR record in tonyds.co.za was added to see if the problem will be resolved - but I get the same message if it is in there or not***
 
The domain name www.idws.com is still on the iserver DNS - and I have added a A record there which points zeus.idws.com to 216.4.160.34
 
The other DNS server has the same set-up - but is NT4.
 
I know this is a rather large message - but I am providing all the info so that you can maybe find the solution to my problem. If you need to find something out - you may mail me at tony at idws.com.
 
Thanking you in advance for your patience and help,
 
Regards
Tony
