PTR records master file

[reinier]

although in several posts it is mentioned that your ISP manages the PTR records for your IP, ISPConfig does generate a reverse zone file for bind.

However the format is

GNU nano 1.3.12 File: reverse_zone.in-addr.arpa.master

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA {SERVER_BIND_NS1_DEFAULT}. hostmaster.{SERVER_DOMAIN}. (
{SERIAL} ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
28800 ; Refresh
7200 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400) ; Minimum TTL
NS {SERVER_BIND_NS1_DEFAULT}.
NS {SERVER_BIND_NS2_DEFAULT}.
<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: reverse_records -->
{IP_ENDE} PTR {DNS_SOA}.
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: reverse_records -->
;;;; MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ;;;;

in order to correctly resolve, my ISP recommended to add IN like

{IP_ENDE} IN PTR {DNS_SOA}.

would that make sense?

I guess you mix up the domain PTR records and the IP reverse records. The IP reverse records can only managed by your ISP because you are normally not authoritive for a IP, the domain PTR records where managed by ISPConfig automatically.
