I realy want to stay consistent across all platforms.
Please check the respective zone entries in your /etc/named.conf files, I think the reason for the inconsistency can be found there.
My guess is, that on the platforms where it works the zone is named 168.192.in-addr.arpa, but on the linux box it is something like 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa .
If you remove the "0." prefix, it should work with short entries in the zone file and no trailing dot:
0.1 IN PTR ip1921680001.local.x.com. 0.2 IN PTR ip1921680002.local.x.com. .. 255.254 IN PTR ip192168000254.local.x.com.
BTW, to further reduce the typing work and the size of the zone file, you can use the $GENERATE diretive:
$GENERATE 1-254 0.$ IN PTR ip192168000$.local.x.com. $GENERATE 1-254 1.$ IN PTR ip192168001$.local.x.com. ... $GENERATE 1-254 255.$ IN PTR ip192168254$.local.x.com.
This reduces the number of PTR lines from over 60000 to 256.
Thanks this worked. I never knew of the GENERATE.
