Maybe, manybe not. It's the least effort in terms of DNS
administration because only 1 PTR record has to be changed. However
documenting that change and perhaps changing their administrative
procedures (and documenting them!) could be a lot of work. It might
also complicate things for your ISP and for you: for instance what do
you do if reverse lookups of your IP address don't return the correct
name? What do you and the ISP do if/when you want to rename that host?

Yes, though the zone that would be delegated to you probably wouldn't
be called 254.233.210.204.in-addr.arpa. Please read RFC2317.
