Class A Subnet (/22) delegation problem

I have read so many documents on classless reverse delegation that my head
is spinning. However most of the documents seem to deal with class c
subnets. Here is my problem. I am working for a small isp who got a /22
through a reseller. The reseller does not have a clue what I am talking
about, but insists on playing the middleman. I am not permitted to speak to
the technical people upstream who have to make the changes. (global) Here is
what was sent back to me by the middle guy. These are the entries made at
Global. They have also included glue records, which I believe are needed.
for the purpose of brevity I have left out the entries for 64.215.21, .22,
.23. They are the same as the one for .20.

Delegation had been set up for .20, but unfortunately not for .21 - .23. It
is set up now. Please allow for 4 hours propagation and thank you for your
request.

I then created a zone file 20.215.64.in-addr.arpa. The files from my dns
server are include below. We are running bind 8. The files were created with
quickdns, (My employer wants a gui interface so that other people can do dns
entries if need be.)

It works great from within my network, but addresses do not resolve from
outside our network. I know I am missing something fundamental, but for the
life of me can not find it. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
