Re: class d reverse zones

The zone name would be the same as the PTR record name. Each zone
would have a name such as 200.104.243.64.in-addr.arpa. It would have
the following records:

<zone name> NS dns.quantumleap.net.
<zone name> PTR <canonical name of host>

You would not create any other records than these in each zone. You
would create one zone per IP address.
