You need to set up a reverse-domain (aka in-addr.arpa) zone.  Add
something like this to your named.conf file:

===
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"{
        type master;
        file "192.168.0";
        notify no;
        allow-transfer {
            none;
        } ;
}
===

And add something like this (named "192.168.0") file to your domain
files directory (modify as needed):

===
$TTL 43200
@               IN      SOA     0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.  x-men.tucows.speedme.com. (
                        1 ; serial
                        3600 ; refresh
                        900 ; retry
                        1209600 ; expire
                        43200 ; default_ttl
                        )
@               IN      NS      <the name of your domain server>.

1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.  IN PTR dev.domain.com.

===

Before setting these up, make sure that the forward lookups map to the
correct IP address (i.e. dev.domain.com. must map to 192.168.0.1).

Note that you can only manage in-addr.arpa sub-domains in private IP
space or in a sub-space that has been allocated to you.
