Hhmm....allow-query is a tag that specifies which hosts are allowed to ask
questions from my server, right?  Why would I need to put my own server's
IPs in there?  Does the server query itself?

I'll put the allow-query { any; }; to all zones except for the cache right?

That's not how my ISP said to do it.  The sample zone file they gave didn't
include the 128/25.  It simply read:

239    IN    PTR    blahblahblah.domain.com

So you're saying it should read as:

239.128/25    IN    PTR    blahblahblah.domain.com

The delegation is not yet done.  They're waiting for my config changes.  :-)

Thanks for the quick reply.  Appreciate it very much.
