Reverse DNS

Hello, I'm trying to get reverse dns to point to my domain on network but I'm failing. I am using bind dns with port 53 enabled and my ISP is mediacom. Currently my reverse dns is *.client.mchsi.com and I would like to make it example.com basically.

My bind configuration

I have 2 records, one for my private ip and one for my public just incase it needs to be my private one. Here is my private one, the public one is the same thing but with my IP in place.

Code:

$ttl 38400
62.168.192.in-addr.arpa.	IN	SOA	ns1.example.com. support.example.com. (
			1271713563
			10800
			3600
			604800
			38400 )
62.168.192.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	ns1.example.com.
62.168.192.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	ns2.example.com.
12.62.168.192.in-addr.arpa.	IN	PTR	example.com.

I have tested both ways through dig on terminal and they work fine, but when I test using my dns providers dns server, it returns the same *.client.mchsi.com domain and not the one I specified. I waited 3 days to test again and I get the same result. The time to live returned by dig is 24 hours just to note. Any help?

Thanks,
Mr. Gecko

desproxy-dns

desproxy-dns(1) 						   User Commands						   desproxy-dns(1)

NAME

       desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections

SYNOPSIS

	  desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port

OPTIONS

       None

DESCRIPTION

       If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else.  You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names
       to IP addresses.

       NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if
       you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root).

       OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network
       accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X).

       Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works.

ENVIRONMENT

       None.

FILES

       None.

SEE ALSO
