[Freeipa-users] reverse DNS lookup does not work

reverse DNS lookup stopped working after I broke some replication
agreements (perhaps unrelated, but worth mentioning). Regular A
records resolve fine.
The records can be seen in LDAP (using ldapsearch with GSSAPI after
kinit -t /etc/named.keytab):

the zone:

# 0.63.10.in-addr.arpa., dns, ipa.example.net
dn: idnsname=0.63.10.in-addr.arpa.,cn=dns,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=net
idnsUpdatePolicy: grant IPA.example.NET krb5-self * PTR; grant IPA.example.NET
  krb5-self * SSHFP;
idnsAllowDynUpdate: TRUE
idnsForwarders: 172.23.1.5
idnsAllowSyncPTR: TRUE
idnsSOAserial: 1439302482
idnsSOArName: hostmaster.ipa.example.net.
idnsZoneActive: TRUE
idnsSOAexpire: 1209600
nSRecord: ldap1.example.lan.
idnsSOAminimum: 3600
objectClass: idnszone
objectClass: top
objectClass: idnsrecord
idnsAllowTransfer: none;
idnsSOAretry: 900
idnsSOArefresh: 3600
idnsAllowQuery: any;
idnsName: 0.63.10.in-addr.arpa.
idnsSOAmName: ldap1.example.lan.

the entry:
# 68, 0.63.10.in-addr.arpa., dns, ipa.example.net
dn: idnsname=68,idnsname=0.63.10.in-addr.arpa.,cn=dns,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: idnsrecord
cNAMERecord: ds02.example.lan.
idnsName: 68

but the reverse dns lookup fails anyway:

[root at ldap1 ~]# dig -x 10.63.0.68

Any thoughts?
