I am experimenting with bind8. I follow the straight forward howto and I do
have
lookup working. I followed the howto stricly and triple checked but I can't get
reverse lookup to work.

Here is my reverse lookup zone. I did check that the file name is correct
according to what is pointed to by named.conf zone.

;
; zone file for reverse lookup
;
@       IN      SOA     mail.mydomain.com. kunathma.msu.edu. (
                        200007181 ; Serial, todays date + todays serial
                        8H      ; Refresh
                        2H      ; Retry
                        1W      ; Expire
                        1D)     ; Minimum TTL
                NS      mail.mydomain.com.

1               PTR     mail.mydomain.com.


I am trying to do reverse lookup on the machine which is running the nameserver
and called mail.mydomain.com Shouldn't this work? I use localhost as
nameserver.
