You should create a zone named "200-29.164.148.207.in-addr.arpa". In
it, you should have the following record types:

NS records for your server(s) and the CADVision servers:
200-29.164.148.207.in-addr.arpa. NS ns1.wavefront.ab.ca.
200-29.164.148.207.in-addr.arpa. NS ns2.wavefront.ab.ca.
200-29.164.148.207.in-addr.arpa. NS ns1.cadvision.com.
200-29.164.148.207.in-addr.arpa. NS ns2.cadvision.com.
200-29.164.148.207.in-addr.arpa. NS ns3.cadvision.com.

PTR records for your IP addresses:
201.200-29.164.148.207.in-addr.arpa. PTR host-201.wavefront.ab.ca.
[etc.]

Of course, you'd change "host-201.wavefront.ab.ca." to the real name
of the host at 207.148.164.201, if such exists.
