I am using Ubuntu Server and installed BIND9 so I could set up a DNS server. I am tying to configure Reverse DNS. Here is my /etc/bind/named.conf.local file:

zone "grupolar.com" in{
    type master;
    file "/etc/bind/db.grupolar.com";
};

zone "0.13.10.in-addr.arpa" in{
    type master;
    file "/etc/bind/db.10.13.0.rev";
};

And here is my /etc/bind/db.10.3.0.rev file:

$TTL    604800
$ORIGIN 0.13.10.in-addr.arpa.
@    IN    SOA    ns1.grupolar.com.    adm.grupolar.com.    (
                  10000                ; Serial
                  604800               ; Refresh
                  2419200              ; Expire
                  604800 )             ; Negative Cache TTL
     IN    NS     ns1.grupolar.com.
11   IN    PTR    server1.grupolar.com.; qualified name
12   IN    PTR    server2.grupolar.com.

The command nslookup 10.13.0.11 - 10.13.0.10 is producing the following:

Server:    10.13.0.10
Address:   10.13.0.10#53

** server can't find 11.0.13.10.in-addr.arpa: SERVFAIL

This is for academic purposes and I would like to know what I am doing wrong, if you could help me.

When I use named-checkzone 0.13.10.in-addr.arpa /etc/bind/db.10.13.0.rev command, I get the following output:

dns_rdata_fromtext: /etc/bind/db.10.13.0.rev:7: near eol: unexpected end of input
zone 0.13.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file /etc/bind/db.10.13.0.rev failed: unexpected end of input
zone 0.13.10.in-addr.arpa/iN: not loaded due to erros.

Thanks.

dns_rdata_fromtext: /etc/bind/db.10.13.0.rev:7: near eol: unexpected end of input

The error message which is included in the question says that there is an error on line 7 in the zone file. This position coincides with the end of your SOA record.

The problem is that your SOA record is missing one of its seven fields.

A SOA record has the following fields MNAME, RNAME, SERIAL, REFRESH, RETRY, EXPIRE and MINIMUM (in this order).

One of the five integer fields is missing in your SOA record, based on your comments it is the RETRY field which is missing.
