Reverse DNS problem

[Pete Walker]

Is it possible for a name server which is currently only a secondary NS to
be the primary NS for reverse records?
I wish to set up the in-addr.arpa zone file for the 212 range below on
212.248.239.133, which is currently only a secondary.

Many thanks again,

Pete Walker.

There's absolutely no required (or even expected) relationship between
the address of the nameserver and the reverse domains it hosts.  Any
nameserver can host any domains, as long as they're delegated to it
properly from the parent domains.
