People supposed to be the case is issue of LAME delegation. But this is not correct. There are two reasons. One is glulessness and the other is BIND 8 on caching nameserver. Most of nameservers in ARPA zone are out-of-bailiwick names and this causes gluelessness This document explains the problem with gluelessness, the problem with old BIND implementations and suggests recommended way to configure nameservers in .ARPA.
