Help setting up reverse lookup with BIND9
rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA group2.lab. root (
2009031001 ; serial
28800 ; refresh
14400 ; retry
3600000 ; expire
86400 ; ttl
)
IN NS 192.168.1.3.
1 IN PTR ns1.group2.lab.
should be:
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA group2.lab. root (
2009031001 ; serial
28800 ; refresh
14400 ; retry
3600000 ; expire
86400 ; ttl
)
IN NS 192.168.1.3.
3 IN PTR ns1.group2.lab.
Thanks for at least taking a look guys, after spending countless hours/days on this, I figured it out...the 1 should've been a 3 :).

First off, I'm still a newbie when it comes to Ubuntu. I would appreciate if someone could show me what I'm doing wrong. I have a Windows 10 machine as my main machine, and I run two VMs with VMWare, one of them is Ubuntu server, and the other is Ubuntu client. I've managed to successfully set up the DHCP server so far. I'm stuck with setting up the DNS server, I managed to get the hostname nslookup (i.e. ns1) to work correctly, however, I have NOT been able to get the nslookup 192.168.1.3 (i.e IP address) to work correctly. Here is what is currently in my settings:
named.conf.local:
//The following code defines the forward lookup zone. zone “group2.lab” { type master; file “/etc/bind/zones/group2.lab.db”; }; //The following code defines the reverse lookup zone. zone “1.168.192.in-addr.arpa” { type master; file “/etc/bind/zones/rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa”; };
group2.lab.db:
$TTL 86400 @ IN SOA group2.lab. root ( 2 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 14400 ; retry 3600000 ; expire 86400 ; ttl ) IN NS 192.168.1.3. IN MX 10 group2.lab. ns1 IN A 192.168.1.3 www IN CNAME ns1
rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:
$TTL 86400 @ IN SOA group2.lab. root ( 2009031001 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 14400 ; retry 3600000 ; expire 86400 ; ttl ) IN NS 192.168.1.3. 1 IN PTR ns1.group2.lab.
resolv.conf:
nameserver 192.168.1.3 nameserver 8.8.8.8 search group2.lab
hostname:
ubuntu
hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ubuntu 192.168.1.3 ns1.group2.lab ns1 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
This is what I see when I attempt an nslookup:
root@ubuntu:~# nslookup ns1 Server: 192.168.1.3 Address: 192.168.1.3#53 Name: ns1.group2.lab Address: 192.168.1.3 root@ubuntu:~# nslookup 192.168.1.3 Server: 192.168.1.3 Address: 192.168.1.3#53 ** server can't find 3.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
