Could be in a few places - first thing to do is let us know what OS and version.
Then I would suggest looking at your resolv.conf file - it may simple be a mistake in there.
If not, do the nslookup command
look up my_server.1.131.10.in-addr.arpa
then look up the IP it gave you - does it come back with my_server.1.131.10.in-addr.arpa or with the your-server.your-domain.com?
Then set the type to ptr ( set type=ptr) - put in the same IP as last time - does it resolve it correctly?
And post what verion of DNS you are using.

Hi All,
I know that getaddrinfo() return the multiple IP addresses (if present) for a hostname. But, I want to know how to get the TTL value for this list from DNS. I want to get this TTL value and cache this IP address list for that much time and then again go for DNS resolution if TTL expires.

RESOLV.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RESOLV.CONF(5)
NAME
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/resolv.conf is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may con-
tain these two lines:
nameserver IP-address
domain domain-name
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the
local name daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
name server is at the other side of a router. The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of
the local host is used.
The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).
