Some help with BIND9 settings!

[Tasha Smith]

Hi....
Ok for my server to perform reverse lookups i would have to add this to my
 " /etc/named.conf "   file:

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { #AReverse Lookup

type master; //Again-MASTER ZONE
file "pz/192.168.0"; //Again-Details file.           // (/var/named/pz/192.168.0)

};

AND THEN CREATE this file: /var/named/pz/192.168.0 and have 

this in it:

$TTL 1D

@       1D  IN  SOA    localhost. root.localhost. (

                  42     ;serial   (d. adams)

                  3H     ;refresh

                  15M    ;retry

                  1W     ;expiry

                  1D )     ; minimum

 

             1D  IN  NS     localhost.

             1D  IN  PTR    localhost.

 

 

Is this close to something i would do for reverse lookups???

Or am i off? 

Thanks- -     Tasha @---<-----

this is because you don't have a reverse zone for the 192.168 network. I'll 
leave creating it as an exercise for you...
