Delegating class C's

I've been pouring over the 3rd edition of DNS & BIND for delegating
reverses and I'm, well, confused (or, at least, I'm confused on a higher
plain. Here's the situation.
We run a non-routeable class C in our office (192.168.254). We are creating
other 192.168.x "sub-domains" for labs and such, but we need to delegate
not just the forward but the reverse to these DNS servers as well. Rather
than go into, say, db.192.168.0, and list 255 entries of (looking at page
217 of the book):
x.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN CNAME x.0-255.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
with
0-255.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN NS ns1.eng.fireclick.com.
is there a short hand that says, give the entire class C to the machine
ns1.eng.fireclick.com? Or, do I just have to pre-delegate each IP within
the master DNS server's db.192.168.254 zone file?
BTW, Cricket, thanks for the article on views. I've been wanting to do just
that (internal vs. external) to provide an "external" DNS server, but as a
secondary to our internal DNS server, but yet have that "external" DNS
server act as primary for the world's view of us.
