Just add zones 10.in-addr.arpa, 168.192.in-addr.arpa, and
{16-31}.172.in-addr.arpa to ALL of your resolving name servers, pointing
to a file that only has NS and SOA records.

Or a "* IN PTR not-a-working-address." record.  ;-)

Or if you want to preserve the purity of separation of your resolvers
and authoritative name servers, do the above on one or more of your
authoritative name servers, and make them "forward only" zones on your
resolvers, pointing them to the authoritative name servers that have
been so favoured.

It takes less time than reading this mailing list!  ;-)

[I have carefully removed you from the "to" list.]
