You are no less than absolutely brilliant!
I've yet to have them change the delegation, but otherwise, you were
EXACTLY right!
I'd like to post my current files for the future of googling..
First, get the provider to delegate to your proper dns servers.
then,
In named.conf.local
******************************************
zone "192/26.224.5.12.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/12.5.224.192_26.rev";
};
******************************************
In 12.5.224.192_26.rev
******************************************
$ttl 60M
192/26.224.5.12.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ns1.rcrnet.net.
