Something I've noticed is that it's creating PTR records.
Yes, they are a requirement for FQDNs and for Mac OS X.
Which does not mean they have to be created on the same server.
It shouldn't be,
Yes it should.
No. If you don't own the IP address range - like, say, the OP - you're
not authoritative for the reverse lookups, and therefore not supposed to
create the PTR records. Of course one should make sure the records exist
(i.e. have the owner of the address range create them), but that's a
different story.
This misses the point of FQDNs and DNS and Mac OS X.
YOU don't have to be authoritative for the CIDR block to be able to
provide the PTR that OS X requires. YOU just have to be able to
provide the information. YOU do not to provide this information to
OTHERS.
That is you can have split horizons.
So: "Yes, it should" or more accurately "Yes, YOU should" have PTRs
for ALL of your hosts that OS X needs to reference. Otherwise you
dont' have FQDNs.
