i'm trying to ping mail.example.com but failed. base on my below zone configuration.

Did I configure anything wrong?

$TTL 604800 ; 1 week
@   IN  SOA serverad.example.com.   root.example.com. (
                232       ; serial
                604800     ; refresh (1 week)
                86400      ; retry (1 day)
                2419200    ; expire (4 weeks)
                604800     ; minimum (1 week)
                )
IN  NS  serverad.example.com.
serverad        IN      A   172.17.5.121
121     IN  PTR serverad.example.com.

mail    IN  A   172.17.5.22

    Your PTR records don't belong in your forward zone; you should have a separate reverse zone for those. Could you clarify what you mean when you say the ping doesn't work? Does the name resolution fail, or does the name resolve to the IP and the ping results in no reply?

  • Where are you pinging from? Does that machine use the BIND server as a DNS server?
