Struggling with basic DNS

I have a mac server setup doing mail and some sharing. It acts also as the primary DNS server for this setup. I didn't originally set this up, but there is only 1 DNS record that I see in the server with a PTR record

2.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
10.1.1.2 Reverse Mapping servername.domain.com.
servername.domain.com. Primary Zone -
servername.domain.com. Machine 10.1.1.2

Thats my attempt at showing what server manager in DNS is showing. It would appear there is one A record for the server and a PTR record to match. Makes sense.

I want to add a record for another server. I want newserver or newserver.domain.com to resolve to 10.1.1.6. So, I added an A record and put in
newserver.domain.com.
and an IP of 10.1.1.6

In turn it addes an A record, but it adds a new PTR record so my entries now look like:

1.1.10.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
10.1.1.6 Reverse Mapping newserver.domain.com.
2.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
10.1.1.2 Reverse Mapping servername.domain.com.
servername.domain.com. Primary Zone -
servername.domain.com. Machine 10.1.1.2
newserver.domain.com. Machine 10.1.1.6

I'm questioning if this is right? I thought this would be an easy process, am I doing something wrong? When I ping 10.1.1.6 it doesn't resolve the name and when I ping newserver or newserver.domain.com I get back unresolved messages.

Any help would be super appreciated!!!!!!!

I did some more research and I think the problem is that my PTR record for my DNS server starts with 2.1.1.10. Shouldn't it be 1.1.10?

Can I delete the A record for the DNS server without killing AD and OD?

Just to let you know, I had to nuke my primary zones and readd them. Luckily it didn't kill anything above it but it was a bit nerve racking for a while.

thanks for the help!!!!
