Help with errors from Dlint?

I have leased one IP address from my ISP.  They state that is ok for me to
do my own DNS for this IP.  A year or two ago I registered some domains and
configured Bind 4.x.  Since then I have upgraded to 8.xP5 and converted the
named.boot to named.conf.

Recently my ISP has been upgrading their name servers also and I am no
longer able to resolve my domain names from other PC's that are on dhcp
assigned IP's from this ISP.  I'm not sure if changes need to be made to by
DNS configs for each domain or if the problem is with my ISP.  I am able to
resolve my domains using DNS servers outside of my ISP though.

An example of the problem is this:
IP that I have leased is: 204.210.233.254
crvs.com domain registered with network-solutions and the primary (listed
first) name server there is: NS1.BEERGEEKS.COM  204.210.233.254
The beergeeks.com is also registered by me and is at the same
204.210.233.254 IP address.
So I tried using Dlint,

Output of Dlint crvs.com:
-----------------------------------
;; Now linting crvs.com.
;; Checking serial numbers per nameserver
WARNING: nameserver PANDA.CAM-HX.COM. returned an error when asked for SOA
of crvs.com.; skipping.
;; 1998122906 NS1.BEERGEEKS.COM.
;; All responding nameservers agree on the serial number.
;; Now caching whole zone (this could take a minute)
;; trying nameserver NS1.BEERGEEKS.COM.
;; 3 A records found.
WARNING: the zone crvs.com. has an A record but no reverse PTR record. This
is probably OK.
ERROR: "www.crvs.com. A 204.210.233.254", but the PTR record for
254.233.210.204.in-addr.arpa. is "dhcp233254.columbus.rr.com."
 One of the above two records are wrong unless the host is a name server or
mail server.
 To have 2 names for 1 address on any other hosts, replace the A record
 with a CNAME record:
 www.crvs.com. IN CNAME dhcp233254.columbus.rr.com.
;; no subzones found below crvs.com., so no recursion will take place
--------------------------
The warning about "nameserver PANDA.CAM-HX.COM. returned an error ..." tells
me that they are no longer doing DNS for my domains correct?


Here are my named.conf entries for the above domains:
...
zone "233.210.204.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.204";
};
zone "crvs.com" {
        type master;
        file "named.crvs";
};
zone "beergeeks.com" {
        type master;
        file "named.beer";
};
...
here are the db files for the 204, crvs.com and beergeeks.com domains:

----------------------------

Are my db files incorrect or is there a problem with my ISP still being
authoritatve for my IP?
Any help on cleaning this up would be great.

Thanks
