	What a load of hogwash.  If you had read the original question it
	stated:

	"I have a segment of a class C and my ISP has delegated the
	reverse to me.  I'm trying to set up my dns so it handles the
	reverse correctly."

	Note the word "segment".  32.37.171.206.in-addr.arpa is as good
	as any other zone in this context.  If he was trying to set up a
	full /24 (class C) then you would be correct.
