Query down, starting from the root name servers and following the NS records
for the zone.

This is less than a full Class C block, so your ISP (UUNet) will need to do a
classless delegation to your name server. Exactly how you set it up depends on
how they do the delegation (there's more than one way to skin this cat...).

FWIW, it doesn't look like the delegation has been made yet. Starting from the
root servers and following NS records, I hit a dead end at

200.95.63.in-addr.arpa nameserver = auth40.ns.uu.net
200.95.63.in-addr.arpa nameserver = auth62.ns.uu.net
