It wouldn't work for that. I don't think.
This is meant to delegate PART of a reverse-lookup DNS domain to
another server.
E.g., if I have 128.376.999.in-addr.arpa, and I delegate
999.376.128.64/27 to somebody else, I can use this trick to let them
maintain their own reverse DNS. See RFC 2317s, Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA
delegation.
[Yes, those are illegal IP addresses. That's so I wouldn't choose
anybody's favourite address. ;-}]
