I'm off-line right now, so I can't check the delegation for that class C
network. Presumably, however, it has been given to your ISP, so presumably
they can delegate your subnet to you (see RFC 2317 for how).

Another option would be for you to run DNS for your domains and keep
having the ISP run DNS for their network; reverse zones tend to need
updating less frequently than forward zones anyway.
