The best way to do this is to have the person who is primary for 
166.1.199.in-addr.arpa insert records like:

jdl	IN	NS	jdl.com.
200	IN	CNAME	200.jdl
201	IN	CNAME	201.jdl
202	IN	CNAME	202.jdl
...
207	IN	CNAME	207.jdl

And then you can build a database for jdl.166.1.199.in-addr.arpa and you can 
be authoritative.

I am sure that this is documented somewhere but can't figure out where.  The 
most recent time I heard it described was at the NANOG meeting a month or so 
ago, and the person describing it said that people have been doing this for 
years.

>Meta-question: Is there a better DNS list to question for this one?

comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains is probably a good place.
