This won't matter when somebody queries in-addr.arpa -- which is what 
any remote site will see.

Easy to do for forward lookup zones, not so easy for the reverse ones -- 
espically if you're on a "consumer" ISP (eg: comcast, etc.).

You need to figure out who's responsible for D.C.B.A.in-addr-arpa and 
change it there, or see if they'll delegate it for you.

Note that DynDNS dosen't permit you to do in-addr.arpa with their 
'freebie' service. See :
