Reverse lookups are done in exactly the same way as normal lookups, just 
backwards :-)

In the same way that you (your registrar) would allocate a domain name 
to you and point it to your DNS for you to then set all the host info in 
that domain.  Your ISP would allocate an IP block to you and then point 
that IP block to your DNS should you wish.

Reverse lookup records are called PTR records to just go to the GUI and 
Network Services, DNS, Edit Primary Services, Add Record... Reverse 
Address (PTR) Record.

I hope this helps
