You don't write records manually into a slave zone. You replicate the
entire contents of the zone from the master server(s).

Mark was making a suggestion, it's not strictly necessary to get your
reverse lookups working. But it is highly recommended, for redundancy
and performance. Your ISP should open up zone transfers. You have, after
all, been assigned part of that address range for your use. You are a
legitimate "stakeholder", and should already have a business and trust
relationship with your ISP. Get them to do it.
Unless you slave 66.6.190.in-addr.arpa or otherwise make a specific
exception for it in your config, then queries for those names will fall
into your default "deny" rule and you'll continue to get REFUSED responses.

Here's the key insight: BIND and DNS aren't treating those
label-concatenations as addresses, only as names.
As a *name*, 226.66.6.190.in-addr.arpa is *not* contained within the
224/28.66.6.190.in-addr.arpa subdomain any more than
now.is.the.time.for.all.good.men is contained in
heed/well.the.time.for.all.good.men. They share a common point in the
hierarchy, but neither one contains the other.
Understand? They're *names*. There is no "address intelligence" or "CIDR
intelligence" by DNS with respect to the in-addr.arpa tree. It's treated
just a sequence of labels that happens to follow a particular naming
convention.
You don't even need to use CIDR ("slash") notation as the convention, by
the way. Read RFC 2317. Some folks even opt -- in co-operation with
their ISP -- to point those CNAMEs to PTRs residing in their "forward" zone:
In 3.2.1.in-addr.arpa;
4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa. cname 4.3.2.1.rev.example.com.
In example.com:
4.3.2.1.rev.example.com. ptr foo.example.com.
which is perfectly legal.
They're just names. You can put them anywhere, the CNAMEs just need to
point to the right place. Since your ISP maintains the CNAMEs they get
the final say on where they point, but you can make suggestions.
