Here is my reverse zone (created by Yast):
You got me curious as to how you did that. I did a DNS with YaST, created
my zone, and only saw the forward files, no reverse. I created them
manually with an editor. If you did it with YaST, how? :-?
The main problem with manually writing the zone files is that ridiculous syntax. Yast doesn't let miss a single punto:

By the way, my method to know if the DNS entries are right is testing each
address, one by one... like this:

host 192.168.1.1
host 192.168.1.3

host 192.168.1.3
3.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer hh3.hh3.site.

or dig;-)
Notes:
Changes made to the 12.1 bind to get rid of the startup errors:
chown named:named /var/lib/named (working directory not writable)
You are right, I had to do that too. That's bugzilla matter, by the way ;-)
bugzilla 738156 and 738258 The maintainer will not accept that this is a bug.

touch /var/lib/dyn/managed-keys.bind (file does not exist)
Dunno, I was not using dynamic.
Again. The bugzilla says it's fixed but it isn't.

/etc/sysconfig/named NAMED_RUN_CHROOTED="no" (It's too much hassle transferring the samba dlz stuff to the jail)
I also did that, I did not know what was going wrong, so I removed the jail
to have a class of issues less. Then I did not try to reinstate it back.
I don't think we gain much by having it apart from more hassle.
The Yast DNS module is not easy to use.
An understatement :-)
If you know how to write a zone file this makes it easier to get the syntax right first time.
