It looks like your IP address (199.232.38.4) is missing its reverse
lookup records (4.38.232.199.in-addr.arpa), thus causing the
double-reverse-lookup in DNS to fail. Contact your ISP (CENT.NET) or
whoever assigned you that address to see if they'll update their DNS
server to point that IP address to your domain.
If CENT.NET is a secondary to your BIND server, and/or if you have a
Class C network (all of the 199.232.38.* addresses), then you probably
need to provide these records - you'll have to make a
38.232.199.in-addr.arpa zone and put a PTR record for your "4" address
in it.
Its conceptually simple, but the implementation is a little baroque. I'm
sure others on the list will coach you through it.
