Indicate that your PTR record is not working or non-existent, and I never heard
of a PTR record 209.196.37.202/24, which is for a block of IPs. A PTR record
should be for a distinct IP and for a distinct name. Do you have a record such
as: "209.196.37.202.in-addr-arpa. IN PTR beautytech.com"
PTR addresses should only point to a single name, the canonical name. You can
create more than one name, but most systems are not able to handle such data.It
may take much longer than '6' hours for a change to DNS change records to
propagate!  Are you absolutely positive that your name servers "named" are
running? If beautytech is a 'CNAME' record, nslookup queries will fail!
