Hard to tell, what you might have missed / missconfigured.

I'd like to suggest, that you install the latest DNS-DHCP management console, it
should be located at <server>:sys\public\dnsdhcp\SETUP.EXE


For the IP address range 10.27.0.0/255.255.0.0 as an example you will need a ptr
zone 27.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA. You'll see "10.27(27.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA)".


for a host address 10.27.4.1 below that one the entry will be shown in the
management console as "1.4" (revese byte order), with the corresponding FDQN of that
host below that entry.


Then an NSLOOKUP should resolve that IP to the DNS name as presented in the DNS DHCP
Management Console.
