This depends on exactly how your ISP did the delegation. However, they
have to ask RIPE to delegate the appropriate zones to them:

	; <<>> DiG 9.2.0b2 <<>> @auth00.ns.uu.net 169.217.in-addr.arpa ns
	...
	;; QUESTION SECTION:
	;169.217.in-addr.arpa.          IN      NS

	;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
	217.in-addr.arpa.       7200    IN      SOA     ns.ripe.net. ops.ripe.net. 2001080802 43200 7200 1209600 7200
	...
