I went though the RFC 2317 and tried to configure bind and dhcpd in
some ways but I didn't reach appropriate result.

I need to have reverse records for 10.133.24.0/21 (from 10.133.24.1 to
10.133.31.254) been resolved by our dns server but other networks (all
of 10.0.0.0/8 except of 10.133.24.0/21) need to be resolved by
upstream DNS server and I'm not sure how it's possible to configure
BIND + DHCPD for it.

In case I use configuration suggested by Andris it doesn't resolve
names by IP addresses.
nslookup 10.133.27.68
Server:		172.27.1.10
Address:	172.27.1.10#53

** server can't find 68.27.133.10.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN
