If you are using 192.168.x.y internally (the source from which you ssh),
then your nameserver should be authoritative for x.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

You said that your server is not connected to the Internet, so you'll
never be able to successfully "dig +trace -x 209.85.137.83" as it is
doing a lookup of 83.137.85.209.in-addr.arpa starting from queries to
the root (which you can't do).

The "become master of your domain" was an attempt at humor based on a
Seinfeld episode:  http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheContest.htm
