I suggest using the 'resolvconf' package. It creates a framework to
manage /etc/resolv.conf when interfaces come online and go offline.
Read the /usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README* files for information.

NS entries should be fully qualified and end with a dot. Also you
need records for the raw domain name. Let me suggest the following.
I put this together pretty quick and so double check it but it should
be better than you have at this moment.
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA woody.mxoffice.in. hostmaster.mxoffice.in. (
2007071558 ; Serial no., based on date
21600 ; Refresh after 6 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 7 days
3600 ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour
)
; name servers
IN NS woody.mxoffice.in.
; mxoffice.in records
IN MX 20 mail.mxoffice.in.
IN A 192.168.1.55
;
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
;
rockyLaptop IN A 192.168.1.19
woody IN A 192.168.1.55
IN MX 10 woody.mxoffice.in.
mail IN A 192.168.1.55
www IN A 192.168.1.55
ftp IN A 192.168.1.55

Similar issues here. Again double check but let me suggest the
following improvements.
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA mxoffice.in. root.mxoffice.in. (
2007071558 ; Serial no., based on date
21600 ; Refresh after 6 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 7 days
3600 ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour
)
; name servers
IN NS woody.mxoffice.in.
;
19 IN PTR rockyLaptop.mxoffice.in.
55 IN PTR woody.mxoffice.in.

I believe if you make the above changes that you will be okay for that
lookup now.
