Another tighter configuration provided the provider is using atleast BIND8 is to add the following to their 158.36.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA zone $ORIGIN 158.36.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA. $GENERATE 113-127 $ CNAME $.113-127 $GENERATE 1-2 113-127 NS ns$.example.com. In this example the BIND8 server on the provider side will generate two (2) NS records for ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com which would in turn resolve to the DNS servers you would use for resolving. The first $GENERATE lines equivilent to Joey's suggestion but it delegates the 113-127.158.36.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA sub-zone to your NS server. I found this sub-zone declaration easier than "net152" as it specifies exactly the IPs included. With this on the provider side of DNS you then just have to deal with setting up the appropriate 113-127.158.36.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA zone on your DNS server to respond properly to queries.
