Hi somnath:
Could you try the following changes:
1. Change   /etc/host:( we should associate 127.0.0.1 with localhost
only and the IP address you gave to the new host and domin name)
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1         localhost.localdomain       localhost
192.168.0.152 server2.example.com       server2

2. I felt hosts should be appended to the zone names Therefore putting
FQ name I felt is wrong ( I searched the net but could not confirm
this). But anyway change the reverse zone name to:

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
       type master;
       file "192.168.0.152.zone";
};

3. Chage the host in reverse name lookup file 
/var/named/192.168.0.152.zone as shown below: ( we are only specifying
the host 152 which will be appended to zone.)


===========================================================================

$TTL 86400
@                               IN      SOA     server2.example.com.  
 root.server2.example.com. (
                                                               4 10800
3600 604800 86400)
                               IN      NS      server2.example.com.

152                         IN      PTR     server2.example.com.

If this works, please let me know.
Thanks
jpm
