Anyone from AT&T DNS?

Got it! You’re the winner here. I just setup both of my zones the name way and obviously AT&T changed the way they did RDNS entries from when I got a /25 last November and this second /25 in June. Oh well!

Now I am running into the challenge of Route53 does seem to support creating an authoritative zone for "128/25.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa.” It changes it to "128\05725.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa.” every time… *sigh* If it isn't one thing its something else.
