Ah.... silly me... I was configuring the reverse zone file to return the FQDN.....

So, to achieve what I wrote this email thread initially, its a matter of changing the PTR line for this specific server/record, from

10      IN      PTR     ucm9pub.arda.inet.

to

10      IN      PTR     ucm9pub.

However, I got this fixed by doing a full restart of named instead of small reloads.

Turns out,  the reply from BIND was appending the in.arpa-net to the FQDN, and here is where the other software was complaining. To avoid appending that suffix, there must be a dot at the end of

10      IN      PTR     ucm9pub.arda.inet.

However, for some reason it was there before, and the reloads were not applying it. I got it to work by using the above line and service named restart.

Thanks,

Not following. You suggest to program BIND to strip off the domain if the query comes from certain IP¿?

I am trying to install the server but getting the error I posted on my 2nd email. I am getting from the situation described, that the hostname is not matching the FQDN.

Your local hostname should be a fully qualified hostname. If it's not,
lots of software can have interesting issues.
