If the ZDM 7 SP1 install has already been done and the condition already exists, follow the ZDM 7 SP1 Uninstall/Reinstall documentation (ZDM 7 sp1 Installation Guide) after addressing the issue.

Additional Information
DNS will round-robin through A record entries for reverse lookup resolution. Reverse lookups that do not point to the hostname.domainname will interfere with DNS resolution to hostname.domainname.
