    A minor note, I'd write db.192 as db.192.168.0, so that if you have
    another private network it's db.192.168.1 or whatever.

    The exact name doesn't matter, but I think it's nice to use numbers all
    the way down to the subnet you're claiming reverse dns authority for so
    that you know by glancing at the file name and zone config what network
    it's a pointer record for.

    If you were to include the date in the serial number you could quickly
    see when you last made zone changes.

    2003092701 ; Serial in YYYYMMDDSN where "si" is the day's serial
    increment number

    (SN - Sometimes I'll mess up or a second request for changes will come
    the same day.)

    Do you want other computers in the network to look to themselves or the
    dns server for resolution of the reverse dns zone?

    @ IN NS server.elkins

    Yep. It's working, right? :)

    I think it's odd that you had to uninstall/reinstall bind I've not yet
    had that issue. I'm glad it's working now.
