reverse lookup problem

["Casey Boone" <ophidian@mychoice.net>]

im having a problem getting my reverse dns lookup working.

here is my db file for the reverse zone

61.147.12.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ns1.clearwaveonline.net.
admin.clearwaveonline.net. (
 2001101101 ; Serial
 10800  ; Refresh after 3 hrs
 3600  ; Retry after 1 hr
 604800  ; expire after 1 week
 86400 )  ; minimum TTL 1 day


;
;Set name servers
;
61.147.12.in-addr.arpa. IN NS ns1.clearwaveonline.net.
61.147.12.in-addr.arpa. IN NS ns2.clearwaveonline.net.

;
; Set reverse lookup mappings
;
1.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa.  IN PTR gateway.clearwaveonline.net.
2.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa.  IN PTR ns1.clearwaveonline.net.
3.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa.  IN PTR ns1.clearwaveonline.net.
4.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa.  IN PTR ns2.clearwaveonline.net.
5.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa.  IN PTR ns2.clearwaveonline.net.
8.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ophidian.clearwaveonline.net.
9.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR portal.clearwaveonline.net.
10.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR hbgmax1.clearwaveonline.net.
11.61.147.12.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ip-11.clearwaveonline.net.


/EOF

here is the named.conf entry for it

//zone "61.147.12.in-addr.arpa in {
// type master;
// file "db.12.147.61";
//};

/eof

its commented out because if i dont then bind will exit for the zone file
being bad

i downloaded the bind 9 pdf manual but cant see anything really wrong with
my reverse lookup db file

i copied the template file from oreilly's bind and dns book 3rd edition, but
its made for bind 8 and apparently things have changed

checked /var/log/messages and it looks like i need to add a TTL value to the
first line of all my other db files, but they still load and work properly

here is a snippet from the messages file

/etc/named.conf:52: unknown class near 'db.12.147.61'
Oct 10 22:50:23 ns1 named[25460]: loading configuration: failure

/eof

any ideas?
