Re: PTR records

PTR records must almost always be separated into reverse zones. This
is because the name of the PTR record almost universally ends in
something other than the name of any forward zone. For example:

1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

This name doesn't end in example.com, so it can't be put into a zone
named example.com.

If you have a case where the PTR record's name doesn't end in
in-addr.arpa, give us the specifics and we'll take a look.
