named.conf may contain something like :
zone "28.216.132.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	file "28.216.132.in-addr.arpa.db";
};

and "28.216.132.in-addr.arpa.db" could look like :

$TTL 86400
@	IN  SOA  hhh.ddd.tld.  mmm.hhhh.ddd.tld. (
                                        2003010701      ; serial
                                        6H              ; refresh
                                        1H              ; retry
                                        2W              ; expiry
                                        10M )           ; minimum

	NS	1-st.nameserver.
	NS	2-nd.nameserver.

1	IN	PTR	whatever-this-host.are.named.
2	IN	PTR	other.host.domain.tld.



What's unclear in "The book" ?
