Hi all,

I am relativly new to the DNS world, but I have red a lot in the past weeks about it.

Everything works for my two DNS server with webmin, except for the PTR (reverse) \
addresses.

My server is currently autorative for my IPs, but always answer that no PTR exist for \
xx address.

I have read this ...
http://doxfer.com/Webmin/BINDDNSServer
... but there is not much explanation how does the PTR server works for Webmin.

For example, when creating a A record (address), there is a bullet point choice \
"update reverse?" that even when it is at "yes", does nothing.

When creating a reverse master zone, what infos should I put? Network = 11.21.31 ? or \
11.21.31.10 ? Is there a documentation somewhere that I missed?

Thanks all for your time.
