for this I'm using powerdns + poweradmin (but you can use another system)

for only 1 IP i do 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa IN CNAME reverse.custdomain.tld

and reverse.custdomain.tld IN PTR coolreverse.domain.tld.

for a subnet :

1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa IN CNAME 1.reverse.custdomain.tld
2.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa IN CNAME 2.reverse.custdomain.tld
3.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa IN CNAME 3.reverse.custdomain.tld

it's explained in an rfc but I can't remember the numbre.
