Reverse Lookups with Forwarders

[sumsum 2000]

What I am trying to achieve is this:

I am using BIND9 only for forwarding DNS requests to other DNS Servers.

I  want the entire hosts in the
network   : 173.252.110.0
with the host range: 173.252.110.1 - 173.252.110.254
 with a total 254 addresses to be sent for reverse lookup say to DNS :
8.8.8.8, using a single zone configuration as shown below.

Instead of having a zone file for each and every IP in the network, i want
to use one zone file to have all the hosts  in the  network 173.252.110.0
to be forwarded to 8.8.8.8.
So when i do a dig -x 173.252.110.27 which is in the range of the specified
network, i want  it be forwarded to only 8.8.8.8

When i do  dig on a specific address, it gets resolved, but not through the
configured DNS 8.8.8.8, but through default DNS 8.8.4.4.  I hope this
explains the situation which i am trying to solve with a zone file
delegation.

I am not sure if the zone file configuration is correct.

dig -x 173.252.110.27,
