Do you have a zone called "rev" in your sub.domain.com fwd lookup zone?
If not, I want to say that the requestor didn't quite explain what he needs properly. The in-addr-arpa tag that you see is standard for reverse entries. Unless you are doing something fancy in your environment, that's what you'd typically use. Creating cnames in reverse lookup zones for vanity domains is ... shall we say .... exotic.

Subject: [ActiveDir] more DNS questions
Hi, I have 2 internal DNS servers and 2 external DNS servers. We are delegating the subdomain sub.domain.com to another server in the same building that is managed by the Unix guys. We have also given them 16 ip address in the range x.y.z.65-80 One of their SA is asking me to update the reverse RR for several records in this way. x.y.z.67 CNAME 67.z.y.x.rev.sub.domain.com But when I go to our dns server all I find for the reverse zone is something like. z.y.x.in-addr.arpa, so when I tried to create a cname record there I get something like 67.z.y.x.in-addr.arpa instead of 67.z.y.x.rev.sub.domain.com How can I get what this dude is asking me to do??? Do I need to create a reverse zone for that subdomain?
