hi, I don't understand what i'm doing wrong. My dns server works fine except the reverse dns part and only from outside my network. if i run dig -x 91.220.96.5 @91.220.96.5 it gives me <code> dig -x 91.220.96.5 @91.220.96.5 ; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> -x 91.220.96.5 @91.220.96.5 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 46972 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;5.96.220.91.in-addr.arpa.

Reverse DNS Your upstream address provider (wherever you got your IP address from) has to delegate the reverse DNS authority to you for it to work in the public Internet.
