This URL: http://www.samspade.org/t/dnl.cgi?a=199.45.248.90 returns:

Reverse DNS Scan

       199.45.248.195 proxy.wisen.com (bogus rDNS)
       199.45.248.196 charon.wisen.com (bogus rDNS)
       199.45.248.197 ns2.wisen.com (bogus rDNS)

This says that the .90 PTR record is not defined, as your nslookup said.

What NS is authoritative for .90?

# dig  -x 199.45.248.90

                                         12H )           ; minimum

conclusion:  yes not PTR for .90, and your DNS is not authoritative for .90.

If you want your DNS to be authoritative (it's lamely delegate now anyway), 
then hit on" "trent" at xor.com to delegate reverse authority to you DNS, 
and fix the lame delegation in parallel.
