Yes and no. You need a different set of records to do reverse-lookups,
but the basic principles are the same.
You have an entry like,
zone "57.177.205.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "57.177.05.rev";
};
In named.conf and records that look like,
156 IN PTR scully.gothwolrd.com.
This.
As for docs, DNS is a tricky beast. I assume you've been to
www.isc.org?
