How to verify Concentric.net has delegated reverse lookups to my NS?

[David Cunningham]

The idea is for my nameserver to answer reverse lookup queries for hosts in
my domain.  My nameserver (ns1.radiusweb.com) will already answer correctly
when using nslookup to resolve 209.220.157.211 (for example.)  At this time
the only way to get this reverse lookup to resolve properly is to directly
query my nameserver.  Somewhere the recursion process fails (I'm assuming at
Concentric.)

Is it sufficient then for concentric to do something like this?

"157.220.209.in-addr.arpa"

208.157.220.209.in-addr.arpa.    IN    NS    ns1.radiusweb.com.
209.157.220.209.in-addr.arpa.    IN    NS    ns1.radiusweb.com.
210.157.220.209.in-addr.arpa.    IN    NS    ns1.radiusweb.com.
211.157.220.209.in-addr.arpa.    IN    NS    ns1.radiusweb.com.
212.157.220.209.in-addr.arpa.    IN    NS    ns1.radiusweb.com.
    .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
223.157.220.209.in-addr.arpa.    IN    NS    ns1.radiusweb.com.
