ok, I setup the new zone as you suggested and the only
thing I am not 100% sure about is what the FQ host
name of my mail server is. Is is mail.insurors.com or
iot5.insurorsindemnity.com? How do I find out. Then in
regards to forwarding the ports, where am I supposed to do
that from? my firewall, router, ? thanks

You need to open port 53 on the firewall and forward port 53 to the DNS
server IP.
insurorsindemnity.com doesn't have an MX record

insurors.com MX is mail.insurors.com

I'd say set your PTR to mail.insurors.com and use mail.insurors.com for your
MX records' mail server regardless of the domain.

He said he did, but it isn't in Internic's Whois database. It may not have
propagated yet, but I pretty much gave him step by step.

Kevin, I did like you suggested and open the port. Now
when I go to DNSstuff and test
it "http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=66.140.116.5"
I get a good response. However it is still not working,
if I do the reverse DNS traversal at the bottom of the
page it says my DNS server is timing out. thanks

Did you open 53 UDP and forward it to the DNS server?
I can make a TCP connection to your DNS server but not a UDP connection. You
need 53 UDP open, too. 53 UDP is the default DNS port.
