If this class C is part of a /16 block that was assigned to some
organization (e.g. HP) then ARIN will have delegated the reverse DNS for
that block to that organization's DNS server.  You then need to contact
their DNS administrator to get further delegation.

If the block was delegated all by itself by ARIN, you will have to fill out
an IN-ADDR template and send it to them.  You can find this form on
ftp.arin.net.  The instructions are in the file.

If you post your class C, we can be more specific about what you need to
do.
