Absolutely correct.  And Bret can also make his life even easier by
using the shorthand form for entries.  Once he fixes his named.conf
zone line so it reads

    zone "8.57.102.216.in-addr.arpa" {

the PTR records can be shortened to the more natural

9	3600	IN PTR	gateway.plover.org.
10	3600	IN PTR	heather.plover.org.
11	3600	IN PTR 	thorin.plover.org.
12	3600	IN PTR	advent.plover.org.
13	3600	IN PTR	dante.plover.org.
14	3600	IN PTR	daman.plover.org.

and things will work just fine and it won't hurt your eyes to look at 
the zone file :)
