What you've done should allow you to translate names in first.domain and
second.domain to IP addresses.

Are you asking about reverse DNS (translating addresses back to names)?
For that, you need to add the reverse zones:

zone "3.2.1.in-addr.arpa" {
  type slave;
  file "rev.1.2.3";
  masters { 1.2.3.4; };
};

zone "7.6.5.in-addr.arpa" {
  type slave;
  file "rev.5.6.7";
  masters { 5.6.7.8; };
};
