<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm really confused. It appears
since I've switched to Power DNS reverse lookups are failing for my domain
and I can't figure out why. Forward lookups are working perfectly.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've created a new domain in DNS (using
PowerAdmin) named 108.224.199.in-addr.arpa Within this domain I
have multiple PTR records. One looks like this</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">name: 38.108.224.199.in-addr.arpa </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">type: PTR</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">content: www.luzerne.edu</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">ttl: 3600</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I also have a domain named luzerne.edu
containing the equivalent A record:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">name: www.luzerne.edu</font>
