xfer question

[Cardinal Christopher]

If my name servers are authoritative for a class B, say
226.165.in-addr-arpa, but we delegate about 10 subnets to subdomains (for
which we are the slave,) should another name server with our permission be
able to transfer the zone 226.165.in-addr.arpa from us?

Right now they can transfer with no problems, say 4.226.165 and
10.226.165----in other words individual subnets, but not the whole
226.165.in-addr.arpa at one time.

My named.conf does not have a zone 226.165.in-addr.arpa specified, rather
each individual subnet of that zone is specified, like
4.226.165.in-addr.arpa, etc (but not all as we don't fully utilize all
possible subnets.) Note error below:

Jul  6 15:49:57 root named-xfer[19894]: [165.226.4.140] not authoritative
for
226.165.in-addr.arpa, SOA query got rcode 0, aa 0, ancount 0, aucount 1

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
