What do YOU have already delegated to YOU?  I suspect that you have 32
reverse-DNS zones delegated to you.  Or none.  You cannot re-delegate.
You can have the parent /16-network reverse-DNS zone delegate to the
different servers, or you can use the RFC 2317 cleverhack 32 times.
Fortunately, you have $GENERATE in late BIND 8, and I think it's now
back in BIND 9.
