This is named trying to autoconfigure a control channel.  You can
either set up the control channel by running rndc-confgen or you
can disable autoconfiguration using a null controls statement:

controls {
};

That reverse-mapping zone is delegated to your ISP's name servers,
so yes, they need to transfer it from you:

254.220.208.in-addr.arpa. 21600 IN      NS      SATYAMUS.SATYAM.COM.
254.220.208.in-addr.arpa. 21600 IN      NS      auth00.ns.uu.net.
254.220.208.in-addr.arpa. 21600 IN      NS      auth50.ns.uu.net.
