Or just have the ISP do the following which will send all PTR lookups
to YOUR nameserver. Then on your nameserver you use conventional PTR
records to do the final resolve.
At the ISP:
-----------
51 IN NS ns1.yourserver.com.
52 IN NS ns1.yourserver.com.
53 IN NS ns1.yourserver.com.
In your nameserver:
-------------------
51 IN PTR larry.yourdomain.com.
52 IN PTR moe.yourdomain.com.
53 IN PTR curley.yourdomain.com.
I do this for my 128-host address block. My ISP didn't even know it
could be done. They learn something new from their customers every day
