	Well you need to talk to your ISP to workout how they
	want to handle the delegation.  There are a number of
	methods in RFC 2317 and you and your ISP have to agree
	on the method you will use.

	Note the reverse name for 1.2.3.4 is 4.3.2.1.IN-ADDR.ARPA.

	You have a "-" where a "." should be.  Also you mis-spell
	ARPA.

	By "16bit address" I assume you mean you have 16 consecutive
	addresses including the subnet and broadcast addresses.
	All IPv4 addresses are 32bit addresses, there are no "16bit
	address".
