You can be authoritative for as many zones as you want.  Just add "zone"
statements to your named.conf file and create corresponding db files.  You
set up the second class C reverse domain exactly the same way that you
created the first one, e.g.

zone "96.1.203.in-addr.arpa" {
  type master;
  file "db.203.1.96";
};

zone "29.29.203.in-addr.arpa" {
  type master;
  file "db.203.29.29";
};

Are you talking about routing or DNS now?  Either way, the /16 block was
probably assigned by APNIC to your ISP, and they should take care of
routing and DNS delegation.  The NIC has nothing to do with this level.
