I was thinking and testing, and I believe I can answer part of my own  
question, but please correct and advise where I am wrong.

Given an ip of 64.84.37.2
$dig -x 64.84.37.2
	2.37.84.64.in-addr.arpa. 3589	IN	PTR	capone.hostwizard.com.

So I clearly have a PTR, but I want to see who has been delegated  
control of the PTR.
Dropping the trailing 2
$dig 37.84.64.in-addr.arpa NS
	37.84.64.in-addr.arpa.	3538	IN	NS	ns1.nacio.com.
	37.84.64.in-addr.arpa.	3538	IN	NS	ns3.nacio.com.
	37.84.64.in-addr.arpa.	3538	IN	NS	ns2.nacio.com.

This to me looks like nacio.com in this case is going to control the  
PTR zones?

I can go to arin.net and do a lookup there, and find that I have been  
dished out a /26, how do I use dig to get that same answer?

Thanks again.
