Sorry, Dale, but I'm just not following you. Please describe the
desired setup more specifically, using names for your machines
instead of pronouns. Since it's a Monday, pictures and diagrams might
even be necessary. :\
In general, you don't need to be authoritative for the reverse zone
of an IP range in order to put a server (either web or DNS) on it.
You just need to have the routing done properly.
