When possible you want to have only one "IN A" record for each IP 
address, and use "IN CNAME" for all other host names that point to that IP.

This may not solve your problem, but it will make it much easier to 
troubleshoot.

bigbox.example.com.       IN A  10.0.0.10
directory.example.com.    IN CNAME bigbox.example.com.
kerberos.example.com.     IN CNAME bigbox.example.com.
10.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa.   IN PTR bigbox.example.com.
