I can't for the life of me figure out why you would want that, but I will
assume you have a good reason.

zone "in-addr.arpa" in {
    type master;
    file "bogus.in-addr.arpa.";
};

in-addr.arpa. IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. 1 1d 2h 20d 3h
    IN NS localhost.
;substitute the real master hostname and name server(s)
;otherwise leave blank.  Will return NXDOMAIN for all queries.
