hi to all, I've centos64 as one server and second is client and centos 7.5 as two clients.
Both of which are massively out of date. You need to run yum update more often. The only supported releases are 6.10 and 7.7.

CentOS 6.4 is from early 2013 so you are missing over 6 *years* of patches. CentOS 7.5 is from April 2018 so is "only" missing 18 months of fixes.

Update. Only the current version is supported.
60 IN PTR server75.db.net.
None of my entries contain "IN". The equivalent entry for that one on my system would say "60 PTR server75.db.net."
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Reverse DNS needs to resolve entries in the form <reversed ip address>.in-addr.arpa

For example, a fragment from my named.conf file:
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
allow-update {192.168.89.0/29; 127.0.0.0/8; };
also-notify {192.168.89.4;};
notify yes;
file "db.192.168.0";
};
