This one doesn't, it seems that the server won't answer the request.

I can get the A record fine, but it won't answer the PTR request. I'm thinking that bind just doesn't like the reverse zone file, but it doesn't toss up any errors about it.

I would look into your NS records on the effected server and also your PTR zone file for errors.
Brian.
I'm wondering if there is something wrong above me at MCI? I only have a /26 in that block. If I host 208.252.226.196 208.252.226.196 it seems to get a proper answer. But if I let the query go through the root servers, it fails.
