it is just a different record entirely. there is a special zone for reverse lookup on ip addresses for ip4 and ip6 respectively. the address gets transformed into DNS labels to make the lookup. i.e to do a lookup for the ip address "192.0.2.1" the actual name for which the lookup is done is "1.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa." and the delegation for these zones can be and typically is entirely different from the forward zone. if you only have access to the forward zone you wont affect the reverse zone at all...
