I had read the same thing and could never get my W2K server to do a reverse
lookup on itself. Changed the pointer record to be forward and everything
worked great. Not sure if that would be applicable to NT4 but it definitely
was forward on W2K.
Good luck

I'm verifying DNS configuration on a NT 4.0 Server. Re the pointer record
in the reverse Lookup file, should the IP address be in reverse order? I've
read two sources -- one says forward, the other says reverse. Of course,
the one that says reverse it is the Microsoft White Paper, so I'm inclined
to believe that.
Thanks,
