Hy BIND Freaks


I thought I knew enough about DNS/BIND, but
it didn't seem so:

Half a C-Net (Addresses 1-127) is assigned to
me and I set up two nameservers.

--
primary domain.com  db.file

primary zzz.yyy.xxx.in-addr.arpa db.file.rev
--
and the corresponding db files


I can resolve everything with nslookup.
But _reverse_ lookups don't work from the outside.

I have only half the net, could this be the
problem???

TIA
