reverse DNS lookup


I have named running on my firewall and I can't reverse DNS lookup on the firewall. When I SSH in to administer it, I edit "secure" and notice it says it can't resolve the IP. How do I make it so that named forwards requests for reverse DNS lookup to my @home DNS servers?

<code>
options {
# rest of options
forwarders { 1.2.3.4; 5.6.7.8; };
# rest of options
};
</code>

Of course, replace the IPs above with the appropriate values. I assume this would be the @HOME DNS IPs.

I was a little confused by your question, or specifically, what your question was.

The above answers how to forward to your @HOME DNS servers.

As far as the reverse dns lookup not working, do you have a PTR record set up for the firewall ip?
