I don't use or know nslookup, but I guess nslookup see that its query for
78.161.33.12.in-addr.arpa returns a CNAME, so that's announced.

that's a full Class C, so you shouldn't be spoofing reverse authority for
ranges not delegeated to your NS

be precise, your NS should answer for what it is delegated with, nothing
more, nothing less.
