Well, shuckey dern, it works better

# nslookup $(hostname)
Server:         192.168.1.130
Address:        192.168.1.130#53

Name:   wb.home.invalid
Address: 192.168.1.130



Seems my host names with underscore caused my first problem

wb7_0           A       192.168.1.31
2007_0          A       192.168.1.212

but reverse look ups still fail.

# named-checkzone -w /var/lib/named/var/named/reverse/ \
.168.192.in-addr.arpa  home.reversed

shows no errors, but

# nslookup 192.168.1.130
Server:         192.168.1.130
Address:        192.168.1.130#53

** server can't find 130.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa: SERVFAIL


Will I have to create reversed ip zone for each ip address on the LAN?

I thought "home.reversed" would make a kind of wild card look up.
