Reverse DNS problems

Hello all,


Looking for some help with an issues I'm having with rDNS under Win 2003 non AD.

I had to rebuild our primary DNS server and after recreating the entries we are experiencing mail bounces from AOL, RR and a few others complaining about no rDNS.

I've have attached both the 172.195.65.in-addr.arpa zone and the one for my personal domain as exemplar of what I have now.

Interestingly, the domain passes the DNS Stuff rDNS test in it's "Domain Report" however they are still failing AOL's and others tests.

I had a similar issue early last year and I think it was Kevin G who suggested that I needed to have a 128.172.195.65.in-addr.arpa zone entry rather than 172.195.65.in-addr.arpa zone. I also *think* that doing so solved a similar issue however I can not not remember how to create the thing. The Windows DNS GUI will only allow me to enter the first three octets which allows me to create only the 172.195.65.in-addr.arpa zone.

Any advise of resolving this would be appreciated, especially how to create the 4 octet in-addr.arpa zone in Windows 2003.
