PTR record is created in REVERSE lookup zone. It is the record to main database for reverse lookup zone PURPOSES (to convert from IP address to HOST names). Each host record in forward lookup should have an associated pointer record in reverse lookup zone.

Generally first you will create a Forward lookup zone. Then go for Reverse lookup zone. Now we have to create associated pointer records for host records in forward lookup zone. If you are creating a host record in forward lookup zone after creating reverse lookup zone then here we need not to create a pointer record by coming to reverse lookup zone. When creating new host, click on the check box of create associated pointer record. Then it automatically creates associated pointer record in reverse lookup zone.
