The reverse zone lookup is failing. Have you set up a reverse zone at
all ? Is it properly delegated ?

If your forward zone contains resource records like

	host.my.zone.                 IN A   127.126.125.124

then you must have a reverse zone that can resolve

	124.125.126.127.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR host.my.zone.
