Question : PTR records works local only

I am having problems getting PTR records to work over the internet. I have PTR records for other blocks setup the exact same way and they are working over the internet just fine. Am i missing something?

Code Snippet:

1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10:

# host 206.170.184.1 1.184.170.206.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer edge1.directcon.net. --------------------- # host 206.170.184.1 4.2.2.2 Using domain server: Name: 4.2.2.2 Address: 4.2.2.2#53 Aliases: Host 1.184.170.206.in-addr.arpa not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
