Is the forward domain really domain.net, or are you just subjecting us to
a riddle?
Since you say you want to delegate 151.26.195.in-addr.arpa, I assume
you're already authoritative for 26.195.in-addr.arpa. In this case, you
shouldn't set up a zone for 151.26.195.in-addr.arpa yourself; that needs
to be done on the server you're delegating to. Instead, the parent zone
would contain a line such as this one:
151.26.195.in-addr.arpa. NS arthur.camelot.domain.net.
arthur.camelot.domain.net would then need to be set up with a normal
reverse zone for 151.26.195.in-addr.arpa, such as:
;hosts151.rev (151.26.195.in-addr.arpa)
;$TTL 86400
@ SOA arthur.camelot.domain.net. hostmaster.arthur.camelot.domain.net. (
2000012401 28800 7200 604800 86400)
NS arthur.camelot.domain.net.
...plus any PTR records.
