Are you sure that they OWN the block opposed to the ISP owning it? If
they really own the block, check out www.internic.net. Otherwise,
they will have to ask their ISP to registrate the reverse DNS for
them.
Try ftp to ftp.funet.fi, I beleive it complains when reverse dns is
missing and direct you to some interesting documents.

Looks like you're missing a "24" somewhere. The arpa line should be
24.162.208.in-addr.arpa (for your C class).
Good luck!
