Suppose your ISP has assigned you 192.168.1.0/24 and your DNS servers
are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 . You should request your ISP to delegate
authority for the "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" zone to 192.168.1.1 and
192.168.1.2 .  Of course, you should set up the in-addr.arpa zone prior
to making the request.
