Nowhere do you mention that you moved all the PTR records into the 
192.in-addr.arpa zone where they belong, as noted by Robert Bonomi.  And 
why did you change

to

zone "192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file 
"master/summitjnhome-reverse.db"; };

when your PTR lines only give the last octet?  Where do you expect the 
"168.1" to come from?
