Based on the above, I'd say your /etc/named.conf has entries for reverse,
but you haven't created the reverse zone files. You need reverse zone
files for every IP range you have a forward in. In your case, you need
zone files for 127.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.1.0/24.
Difference between a forward and reverse zone: the reverse zone uses PTR
RRs to point to A RRs. Create reverse zone files, make sure
/etc/named.conf point to the correct file names (the name of the zone file
is unimportant).
