225.130.in-addr.arpa is delegated as follows:

225.130.in-addr.arpa.	1D IN NS	NS-SOA.DARENET.DK.
225.130.in-addr.arpa.	1D IN NS	MIMER.SNET.UVM.DK.

ns-soa.darenet.dk doesn't respond to queries.  mimer.snet.uvm.dk contains
the following delegation for 61.225.130.in-addr.arpa:

61.225.130.in-addr.arpa.  1D IN NS  auaw.aua.auc.dk.

auaw.aua.auc.dk doesn't seem to have this zone installed on it.

There's nothing in the delegation that tells anyone to go to your
nameserver to look things up in this reverse domain.  You need to contact
your ISP and get them to correct the delegation to point to your servers
instead of the above server.
