DNS bind4

I have a domain, pippo.it whith a forwarding entry to bis.pippo.it .
Whith nslookup on bis.pippo.it, I write pc1 the resolver answer:
"server hp1.bis.pippo.it
address 172.16.159.13
Non -authoritative answer:
NAME: pc1.bis.pippo.it
Addrss:172.16.123.222"
if on bis.pippo.it, I write 172.16.123.222
the resolver answer :
"server hp1.bis.pippo.it
address 172.16.159.13
*** hp1.bis.pippo.it can't find 172.16.123.222:non existent domain"
but on the named DB the IP is present!
Can I solve this problem??

Hello,

I'm not sure if I understand you well, but the symptoms you get make me think that your DNS has no PTR (pointer) record for that server, only an A record.

(A records translate names in IP adsresses, PTR records translate IP addresses in names)

Could you verify that ?
