In Linux just run this command in command prompt

Save the changes and reconfig 'named' :
# rndc reconfig


In window

Open the DNS snap-in.
In the console tree, right-click the applicable reverse lookup zone.
On the Action menu, click New Pointer (PTR).
In the Host IP number text box, type the host Internet Protocol (IP) address octet number.
In Host name, type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the DNS host computer for which this pointer record is to be used to provide reverse lookup (address-to-name resolution).
Click OK to add the new record to the zone.
