Looks like you have a /25 subnet of 70.11.133.in-addr.arpa allocated
to you.  Your ISP may have messed up the zone file slightly (I'm assuming
everything works) since we have delegated some subnets and do
not get the messages.

The zone file should have entries like

128 IN NS your.name.server.
129 IN CNAME 129.128.70.11.133.in-addr.arpa.
130 IN CNAME 130.128.70.11.133.in-addr.arpa.

Your nameserver should have a zone file for 128.70.11.133.in-addr.arpa
that looks normal, i.e.

129 IN PTR some.machine.
130 IN PTR another.machine.
