What we here put in is a 255.in-addr.arpa zone with [something like]:
$TTL		86400 ; default time-to-live - 24 hours

@	IN SOA	ns.osis.gov.	hostmaster.ns.osis.gov. (
			1		; Serial
			10800		; Refresh
			3600		; Retry
			604800		; Expire
			86400 )		; TTL
;;;
;;; nameservers
;;;
	IN	NS	ns.osis.gov.
;;;
;;; hosts
;;;
*	IN	PTR	not-a-legal-address.
