Classless in-addr.arpa delegation.

[Kevin Darcy]

Doing RFC 2317 on a non-bit-boundary is a little unusual, but certainly workable.
That's why I say that "classless delegation" is somewhat of a misnomer -- it's
really *aliasing* rather than "delegation" _per_se_. All your ISP needs to do is
add 10 CNAMEs  to the 192.204.212.in-addr.arpa zone:

51    in    cname    51.rev.jdimedia.nl.
52    in    cname    52.rev.jdimedia.nl.
53    in    cname    53.rev.jdimedia.nl.
(etc.)

I've used "rev.jdimedi.nl" here as the "container" zone for the PTR records, but
you could use *anything* mutually-acceptable between your and your ISP, as long as
it's a zone delegated to, and controlled by you.
