not authoritative

[Steven Fagan]

So I can't do a partial C unless I do it one address at a time?

What you can do is make a separate zone for each address in the partial
class C.  E.g. if you have 192.168.10.32-47, you would do:

zone "32.10.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
 type master;
 file "db.192.168.10.32";
};
zone "33.10.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
 type master;
 file "db.192.168.10.33";
};
....
zone "47.10.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
 type master;
 file "db.192.168.10.47";
};

Each db file would contain an SOA record, NS record, and a single PTR
record.  E.g. db.192.168.10.32 would looke like:

@ IN SOA ns.yourdomain.com. hostmaster.yourdomain.com. (
     ... ) ; SOA parameters don't matter much since you're not publishing
this
  IN NS  ns.yourdomain.com.
  IN PTR host10.yourdomain.com.
