It is used for making queries externally. The query-source option can
control this. See named.conf(5)

How are you trying to perform the look up? What does /etc/named.conf say
about the reverse zone? Are there any errors in /var/log/? Did you restart
bind since you added the reverse zone? What's the reverse zone file like?

Something like this works fine for me:
/etc/named.conf:
options {
    directory "/etc/namedb";
};

zone "168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
    type master;
    file "reverse";
};

/etc/namedb/reverse:
$TTL 1D
@               IN      SOA     dns.intern.  root.dns.intern. (
                                2002020302      ; serial
                                108000          ; refresh
                                3600            ; retry
                                3600000         ; expire
                                86400 )         ; minimum
                        NS      dns.intern.
0.1                     PTR     dns.intern.

etc.
