No, if you have less than /24 you can not set up authoritative reverse
DNS. You need to contact your upstream provider and tell them what to
set.
You can set it up like you have it, but only your local subnet will get
the correct information. The rest of the interenet will reverse resolve
from your ISPs DNS servers.
I recently did this with Verizon (we have a /25 and Verizon is our
upstream) and they took care of it with little fuss. If your upstream
provider gives you problems, just ask to speak to someone else in the
support network. I'm sure they'll have _someone_ on hand that
understands how to do this right.
