Forward lookup zones are like your phone book. They map the names of things to numbers.
Reverse lookup zones are like those services on a phone company website that take a phone number and backwards resolve it to a name.
Each owner of a public subnet is responsible for maintaining a reverse lookup zone. These zones are less important on internal networks, but occasionally you'll see a need for them. I typically create them when I set up a fresh DNS environment.
