    For reverse DNS, that is correct. You still won't be able to do reverse
    DNS. However, forward DNS works just fine.

    I have a friend for example that administrates his own zone files for
    the two domains he owns. My primary name server pulls that info from his
    box, and my secondaries will pull it from my primary. His domains all
    reference my name servers. That way the domains use stable name servers,
    but he is still able to make changes (i.e. new CNAME and A records)
    without my involvement.

    Again, this is only for forward resolution. Reverse resolution has
    always to be delegated by the IP block owner to a stable name server
    within that block. I'm not aware of any ISP who would delegate reverse
    resolution to an address outside of their control.

    Cheers,
    Frank
