SYMPTOMS

server, may experience one or more of the following problems:
- DNS Manager on your DNS server may display some of the zone objects with a
red X, indicating that they are disabled.
-or-
- DNS clients on the network may be unable to resolve reverse name lookups
successfully.
CAUSE
=====
Your DNS server has its reverse zone, in-addr.arpa, configured as a subdomain of
the root zone (.).
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve these issues, reconfigure your DNS server so that the reverse zone,
in-addr.arpa, is a separate zone and not a subdomain of the root zone. Then add
your PTR records or delegations within the in-addr.arpa zone.
