This seems to work for me:

nl:/etc/namedb/s/intraction# tail ../../named.conf
};

// ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

zone "250.204.212.in-addr.arpa" in {
        type master;
        file "s/db.212.204.250";
        allow-query { "any"; };
        //allow-transfer { "slaves"; };
};
nl:/etc/namedb/s/intraction# cat ../db.212.204.250
$TTL 345600

250.204.212.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ns1.nisser.com. roelof.eboa.com. (
   2001022200   ; CcYyMmDd## Serial Nr., increment for each change!
   86400        ; Refresh after 24 hours
   7200         ; Retry after 2 hours
   2592000      ; Expire after 30 days
   345600 )     ; Minimum TTL of 4 days

250.204.212.in-addr.arpa.  IN NS ns1.nisser.com.
250.204.212.in-addr.arpa.  IN NS ns3.nisser.com.

121  IN PTR nl.nisser.com.
122  IN PTR ns1.nisser.com.
123  IN PTR ns2.nisser.com.
124  IN PTR mail.nisser.com.
125  IN PTR ftp.nisser.com.
126  IN PTR nisse.nisser.com.
127  IN PTR top.nisser.com.
128  IN PTR pop.nisser.com.
129  IN PTR isp.nisser.com.
130  IN PTR endu.nisser.com.

Mind you, the actual ns2 is located some 100 miles up north and the
nl and ns1 got switched sometime, but... Hey! Works for me ;).

HTH,

Roelof

PS I found the pits to be to get the upper ISPs to classless delegate;
some didn't even know what I was talking about. Even in this millennium.
