No, it is not fully working.

Many have tried to explain to you that your setup only works for YOU on YOUR subnet.

Your are then asking other public tools meant to lookup public ips with publicly-available DNS names to resolve your internal addresses, which they obviously don’t know anything about, and you’re getting those errors from tools that follow rfc because you are putting the equivalent of “bedroom” on the outside of an envelope and expecting the post office to know that it means YOUR bedroom.

For dns to work properly, the authoritative DNS server should be able to create a reverse lookup record for every a record that allow a DNS client to ask “what record do you have for this IP?” and get a coherent response. Since 192.168.10.0/24 is a non-routable network, you will never have such a reverse record.

Wolfgang has done you a disservice by giving you a shortcut that works as a side-effect of dns before you fully understood how DNS works.
