9 This isn't the correct format to do a reverse DNS lookup. I believe
10 that it is
11
12 # dig 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
13
14 I believe this is what you are looking for. If not, then it is not
15 setup correctly.

35 This is querying 192.168.1.1 port 53. This if I'm not mistaken is a
36 private network, and thus would have to be your machine. So it's just a
37 matter of forming your request in the correct format. Unless you
38 haven't set things up correctly.

45 I think everything is correct. Your query was just malformed. No
46 problem, try the query that I put, it should work.
