      Hi,

      i have a bunch of IPs i want to set reverse DNS for (in-addr.arpa zone).
      Pfsense IP's were added to ripe.net for that network. All i need to do now, is to create ONLY IN PTR records for X.X.XXX.in-addr.arpa. zone. How can i make it work?

      I tried it many ways but with no luck. I've had it working on bind and mydns perfectly (and they still do), but want to migrate that to firewall machines.

      Please advise me.

            OK i found solution.
            You must never use PTR drop down option but always use A and then check out "Automatic PTR entry". (It still creates only one entry in the DB, not what would expect from the GUI usage..).
            in-addr.arpa. zone can be added and everything works then as expected

            Hopefully this will help someone.
