Kevin,
I was getting nothing in the zone according to the named_dump.db.
So I unzipped named-checkzone from Bind 9 and ran that by cutting and
pasting from my named.conf, and found a typo in the named.conf.
Sigh.
Fixed the typo and everything is working as it should.
Now I can ask my ISP to delegate my 64 addresses in-addr.arpa to me, as
they indicated they were willing to do.....
And one less thing to change during the server swap.
Thanks all!
