IP (not zone) delegation

All,

	Background: We are in the process of installing DNS internally.
Based on a consultant's design suggestions we are configuring the zones as
follows (I will use test.net as the *example* zone):

	------------
	| test.net | (All non-Windows boxes are in this zone.  This will be
a Bind server.)
	------------
	      |
	      | delegation
	      |
	---------------
	| ms.test.net | (All Windows boxes are in this subzone.  This will
be a Windows 2000 DNS server.)
	---------------

	The question I have is how to handle in-addr.arpa delegations.  One
side of our router has 172.16.111.0/24 addresses that contain a mixture of
Windows and non-Windows systems.  The other side of our router has
172.16.112.0/24 addresses that are primarily Windows boxes but have a small
percentage of 'others'.

	Given this set up how should or can we handle in-addr.arpa
delegations, or is another design 'better' and why?

	Thanks for your help.

John
