Yes, well I clicked the little checkbox that said "Create reverse
record" and that did create a record which was the opposite of the
first one (fields were reversed). I tried 'dig' on the name and it
worked but I never tried to look up the address and see if it got the
name.

Hummm - bummer. Well if I need to do that now would be the time. It
seems particularly intransigent right now.
But is there a better guide, something step by step which I could
follow? The Apple documentation is light on the specifics, it just
goes on and on about how many cool things it could do once you got it
working.
Thanks
