The full details are in RFC 2317. To summary: it is mostly the job of
the zone above yours (i.e. your ISP).

You mean 192/26.185.145.12.in-addr.arpa?

Except it is broken:
% check_soa 192/26.185.145.12.in-addr.arpa.
cmtu.mt.ns.els-gms.att.net is not authoritative for 192/26.185.145.12.in-addr.arpa.
cbru.br.ns.els-gms.att.net is not authoritative for 192/26.185.145.12.in-addr.arpa.

You do not add other zones in your named.conf and that's all (besides,
the rest of the world will not ask you about them, anyway).
