db.192.168.0 is for reverse lookups.  Mapping ip addresses to a host 
name.  192.168.0.x is part of RFC1918 reserved ip addresses and should 
never be exposed to the Internet.

db.feldland.lan is a private internal to your lan domain that is not 
registered anywhere and therefore nobody out on the Internet should be 
looking for hosts there.

In my example, LCRCOMPUTER.COM is a legal and registered domain name on 
the Internet.

We have not established a sane question for them to ask of your name server.
