Robert said that you should replace 192.in-addr.arpa with
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa in your named.conf.

Your named.conf should be look like the following:

zone "localhost"        { type master; file "master/localhost-forward.db";
};
zone "127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "master/localhost-reverse.db";
};
zone "255.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "master/empty.db"; };
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file
"master/summitjnhome-reverse.db"; };
