You must have your inverse address records in a different zone from your regular domain data. The inverse addresses are in the domain in-addr.arpa and should be decalared as such in named.boot: ; ; in.named boot file ; directory /usr/lib/DNS cache . named.ca primary uvi.edu uvi.zone primary 226.146.in-addr.arpa uvi-inverse.zone primary localhost. localhost.zone If you are isolated from the Internet, you will have to be the primary DNS for the root hierarchy too (a "false root"). I would say that you're DNS is not working properly, not even close.
