I am running Directadmin on Fedora 2 release. I am wanting to do reverse DNS for all my IP pools with it as well.

Didn't have much of any troubles with /24 and /23.

Added to named.conf

zone "x.x.12.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.x.x.12.in-addr.arpa";
};

Then created in /var/named "db.x.x.12.in-addr.arpa" with all the entries.

Works perfect.

Now I have a /29 as well. How the heck do I get that to work? I had it working on the old RAQ550 but it does not seem to work the same way on the Fedora box. Can anyone tell me how its done with /29 on a Fedora box?

Revers DNS for what? Apache, exim.....?
Giving us your domain would help as we can plug it into the dns lookup tool at http://www.dnsreport.com
and get some more information on what you want.

Reverse DNS in some applications such as apache require you to change the configuration in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 
DNS wasn't designed for classless delegation, but it works well once we figure out the arcane language we have to use.

Classless delegation is covered in RFC 2317; it can be found here.

I found a great tool to create reverse classless delegation zones here.
