Reverse DNS on Home Network?

I have a caching DNS server setup on my Linux box at 192.168.1.5

I have a Win 2K box on this network and it doesn't seem to want
to use this DNS server to lookup information.

When I try to use nslookup on the Win 2K machine it says:

"Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.5: Server Failed"

I'm guessing this is a reverse DNS issue but I'm not sure.
I know that the DNS server is running, however.

Is it possible to configure a reverse DNS entry for an "inside" IP address?

If so, can anyone provide an example?

Thanks,

Andrew
