2^n consecutive numbers are bit aligned, if their binary
representations differ only in the last n bits.

Since you have a 22 bit network but the in-addr.arpa zone is
organzied by byte boundaries, the four reverse lookup zones
that you need will have bit-aligned names, (and thus bit aligned
NS RRs in the parent zone) as the first 22 bits must be equal in order
to be maskeable with a 22 bit mask.
