[Pdns-users] reverse dns with cidr notation and bind slave

Does anyone know whats going wrong with the following setup? I want to
reverse map the 217.119.229/25 range with powerdns and have a bind
server as slave.

In powerdns, I have a domains record like:

      1920 0/25.229.119.217.in-addr.arpa NULL NULL NATIVE NULL NULL

.. and several records like this:

      46382 1920 3.229.119.217.in-addr.arpa PTR wofri.byte.nl 3600 0 NULL
      46381 1920 4.229.119.217.in-addr.arpa PTR uvwrt.byte.nl 3600 0 NULL

And a SOA and some NS records. Lookups work fine, but a
named-xfer from the bind machine (8.3.6) results in:

$ORIGIN 229.119.217.in-addr.arpa.
0/25    3600    IN      SOA     nsa.byte.nl. hostmaster.byte.nl. (
                2003100700 10800 3600 604800 3600 )
        604800  IN      NS      nsa.byte.nl.
; Ignoring info about 3.229.119.217.in-addr.arpa, not in zone
0/25.229.119.217.in-addr.arpa.
; 3     3600    IN      PTR     wofri.byte.nl.
$ORIGIN 229.119.217.in-addr.arpa.
0/25    604800  IN      NS      ns.echelon.nl.
..etcetera..

Why does bind think that 3.229.119.217.in-addr.arpa is not in
0/25.229.119.217.in-addr.arpa? I have used the same setup with a bind
master succesfully.
