Tidied up the reverse zone file
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 600 ; 10 minutes
35.84.119.85.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ns2.keiths-place.co.uk.
keith.keiths-place.co.uk. (

IN NS ns1.keiths-place.co.uk.
IN NS ns2.keiths-place.co.uk.
IN NS ns3.keiths-place.co.uk.
$ORIGIN 35.84.119.85.in-addr.arpa.
@ IN PTR keynesmail.com.

The main config snippet

zone "35.84.119.85.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
file "/var/lib/bind/35-32.84.119.85";
    allow-transfer {
              slaves;
                };


check-names warn;
notify yes;
};

from /etc/bind/named.conf.local

"slaves" is an acl IPv6 and IPv4 addresses of various secondary addresses
