Hello Anthony,

No. 

Reverse zone: 215.10.196.in-addr.arpa
Domain name servers:   your domain name server 1
                                       your domain name server 2

Note: your domain name server is not “quantumgroupgh.com <http://quantumgroupgh.com/>”

It seems that those two name servers are serving quantumgroupgh.com <http://quantumgroupgh.com/>

ns0.ukfast.net <http://ns0.ukfast.net/>
support.ukfast.co.uk <http://support.ukfast.co.uk/>

They should be configured to serve your reverse DNS as well. You need to contact
their administrator.

*Once done, then you can input the entry on MyAFRINIC:

Reverse zone: 215.10.196.in-addr.arpa
Domain name servers:   ns0.ukfast.net <http://ns0.ukfast.net/> 
                                       support.ukfast.co.uk <http://support.ukfast.co.uk/>

*ONLY IF ns0.ukfast.net <http://ns0.ukfast.net/> and support.ukfast.co.uk <http://support.ukfast.co.uk/> ARE SERVING YOUR REVERSE ENTRIES.
example of a reverse entry would be:

10.215.10.196.in-addr.arpa. 50389	IN	PTR	mail.quantumgroupgh.com.

Please contact hostmaster at afrinic.net <mailto:hostmaster at afrinic.net> for more questions.
