Servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS

Question

Like most others here, I started receiving the following error message after upgrading to 10.4.6:
Jul 1 14:37:53 pagecentral servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 66.111.243.236
Actually I had other issues first, my hostname was improperly set. After fixing that I started getting this. I've scoured the boards, read the update from Apple, and I'm still confused. I'm running web, mail, and firewall through OSX Server and QuickDNS for DNS. everything is configured properly, at least I thought it was. I have rDNS records setup, and I have a PTR setup at the parent server that points to pagecentral.com
If I do "host pagecentral.com" in terminal it returns the proper ip.
What am I missing? Should I update the PTR record at the parent to include the subdomain? ns1.pagecentral.com instead of just pagecentral.com? I was originally told it should just be the domain... but that was quite a while ago, I'm sure things have changed since then.

Did you use the following when correcting your hostname info ?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303495
</snip>
Yes I did

I agree with Leif, you should point the server at itself for DNS,
use 127.0.0.1
And I also agree that ou may wish or need to create forwarders entries for
ns1 and ns2.webhostplus.net.

I'm little confused by this. can you explain more? Are you saying all the virtual domains should return 127.0.0.1 as their A record? If so, how would other machines know where to look for the domain? or am I missing this entirely? I cant control what is listed on the webhostplus servers as they are not mine. I beleive they will only provide me with the current record.

When changing the entry for the DNS server(s) used,
don't just change it in the System Preference, you need to use the command-line tool, networksetup - this will ensure the change propagates to all necessary places.

I use QuickDNS to handle DNS, how will doing this affect QuickDNS?

I have no experience with QuickDNS, you should contact them as well since they should support their product and you paid for it. I would hope their support is excellent, based on one of the VP of R&D being Cricket Liu !

I use QuickDNS 5.03, unfortunately this products support ran out in June I believe, so I am relegated to the Knowledge base until I upgrade.

Now then, looking at menandmice's own articles,
http://www.menandmice.com/knowledgehub/dnsqa/40
suggests that you may need to alter your dns entries so that the first ptr listing is for pagecentral.com.

Pagecentral.com is the first listing in the record, but I took something different from that little article, to me, it says that only pagecentral.com should be listed there.
