Delegating Part Of Class C?

Greetings,
We are using BIND version 8.x. Recently, a large ISP delegated part of a
class C to us:
xxx.xxx.xxx.80 through xxx.xxx.xxx.94
However, when I check the ISP's name servers to see how they delegated the
IPs to us, I notice that while they are pointing all inquiries to our
nameservers, they seem to be doing so strangely. When I try to do a
reverse lookup on one of the delegated IPs on their nameservers, I get:
> 82.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa
Server: delegating.isp.nameserver
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Non-authoritative answer:
82.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa canonical name =
82.80.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa
Authoritative answers can be found from:
80.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa nameserver = our.primary.nameserver
80.xxx.xxx.xxx..in-addr.arpa nameserver = our.secondary.nameserver
our.primary.nameserver internet address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
It appears to me that they are pointing to a record on my nameserver:
db.xxx.xxx.xxx.80
However, if I try to create db.xxx.xxx.xxx.80 on my nameserver, and then
do a reverse lookup on say:
xxx.xxx.xxx.82,
my nameserver interprets this as doing a lookup on:
xxx.xxx.xxx.80.82
which obviously doesn't work. If I try to set up the the db record as:
db.xxx.xxx.xxx
on my nameserver, lookups on my nameserver work. However, no matter how I
set it up, lookups from outside nameserver don't work.
Should the delegating ISP just have delegated the IPs to us without
specifying a db file on our nameservers, or should they have done so, but
named the db differently?
Many thanks in advance for any and all responses,
--Duncan
