Summary: DNS problem on Solaris 9

Hello,

I rechecked the config for the 10th time and finally discovered a  
difference between my working server and the one I have here. I had  
<zone "0.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" > in /etc/named.conf. This seems to  
have been the show-stopper. I finally managed to get it working. Here  
are the relevant pieces.

$TTL 3h
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN      SOA  smartsoft-hl.de.  
root.smartsoft-hl.de. (
                                 2004092410      ; Serial
                                 86400           ; Refresh
                                 7200            ; Retry
                                 604800          ; Expire
                                 86400           ; Minimum
)

1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN      NS      smartsoft-hl.de.
1       IN      PTR     merkur.smartsoft-hl.de.

**************************************************************

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa"
{
         type master;
         file "smartsoft-hl.de.rev";
};

Thanks to all!

Regards,

   Andreas
