Reverse Lookup Zone - issue

I have 2 DNS servers, both Windows 2008 R2 servers. One is the primary and one is the secondary. My network IP range is 10.x.x.x. I created my forward lookup zone and it started populating with workstation. I had to manually create a reverse lookup zone called 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. It populated with the Name Server (NS) dns1.name.corp and dns2.name.corp and thats it. When I go to the forwarding lookup zone and try to check the box "Update associated pointer (PTR) record" I get the following message...

Warning: The Associated pointer (PTR) record cannot be created, probably because the reference reverse lookup zone cannot be found"

Any ideas?

Ensure that reverse lookup zone is set with allow secure dynamic updates and it is replicated to all domain controllers in domain
Does the PTR record for Host(A) record exist in Reverse lookup zone?
The Host(A) record was created manually or by the computer account?
Try to run ipconfig /registerdns from the client PC and see if the PTR gets created.

Mahesh - Yes it is set up that way.

Vaseem - There are no PTR records. The Host(A) was created by the computer account. I did an ipconfig /registerdns on all machines on the network.
