This zone file is irrelevant to the question. You should be
delegating this from the zone above (i.e. zone
nnn.mmm.in-addr.arpa (or higher) should list the nameservers of
the class C mmm.nnn.ooo)

He sets up a nameserver or two, and you may act as a secondary.
I'd ignore dynamic update till you've mastered the basics. If
all the nameservers in the organisation are definitely primaries
or secondaries you don't need the delegation, but hey why not,
it'll be fun *8-)
Documentation - well "DNS and BIND" 4th Edition by Albitz and
