I learned that mail-in-a-box uses NSD for its name server.

After a bit of trial and error I believe I have now configured the zone correctly under the hood.

The Bitfolk monitoring system reports a recovery and the mail-in-a-box self-test reports reverse DNS is now set correctly for both versions of IP.

Yay!

My custom zone is configured in its own file under /etc/nsd/nsd.conf.d/, and the main NSD config file imports everything in that folder, so I'm hoping this won't get overridden on upgrades.

I am still seeing some errors in my syslog when NSD restarts though.

The same pattern repeats for each secondary name server IP address (both IPv6 and IPv4)

Any ideas what might be causing these errors?
