Reverse DNS not working , not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
This happened to me even though the nameservers and DNS records were setup correctly. Turned out that the domain name had previously had privacy service and on domain renewal the privacy service had not been renewed and so the ICANN administrative email was still set to the privacy service so that when ICANN domain confirmation email was sent out it was never received. The domain was then suspended without notice by the domain registrar, netfirms.com. Once I updated the administrative contact associated with the domain and confirmed the resulting ICANN email to confirm the domain's ownership, all worked. I mightn't have found it for a while, but the support folks at rackspace.com suggested that somehow the domain might be suspended. netfirms support confirmed this. It is the domain owner's responsibility to keep admin contact info, read: email, up to date. Hope this helps someone.

vstm over 9 yearsYour hoster normally defines the reverse DNS records. You could ask them to add the
224
entry to the zone175.99.192.in-addr.arpa
