Forwarding ARPA records.

You don't want to forward, you want to delegate. Have you read through
RFC 2317 on classless in-addr.arpa delegation?

Here is a real life example:

	$ORIGIN 238.88.213.in-addr.arpa.
	@ SOA ns.wineasy.se. ...
	192-28 NS varg.mcpoolen.se.
	192-28 NS ulv.mcpoolen.se.
	192-28 NS socal.wolf.com.
	$GENERATE 192-207 $ CNAME $.192-28

	$ORIGIN 192-28.238.88.213.in-addr.arpa.
	@ SOA varg.mcpoolen.se. ...
	194 PTR farkas.mcpoolen.se.
	196 PTR tasho.mcpoolen.se.
	197 PTR ulv.mcpoolen.se.
	; ...

Nothing really strange in there - a delegation from the parent zone,
and a standard (reverse) zone on my servers.
