This error comes from nslookup, not from named. The problem is that
nslookup wants to be able to do a reverse lookup on the IP address of
the nameserver it's using. If it can't, it gives up and refuses to work
at all, and gives this error message. In order to make nslookup happy
you need an in-addr.arpa entry for the 192.168.1.11 address. I really
don't understand why nslookup is like this, but that's life. See p. 67
of the cricket book (3rd ed.) for details.
