What still isn't clear to me is (not considering the way the discussion is going here)
what your reason is for "we will not be allowing transfers of zone files to any
server not under our control. You are welcome to make PTR queries like anybody else but
no special zone transfers will be allowed".
That sounds more like a corporate policy than some nice cooperation between radio
amateurs.
And not only is it just "security by obscurity" (i.e. not good), it also serves
no purpose at all to prohibit zone transfers on reverse zones as anyone can re-assemble
them from PTR queries anyway.

We have controlled our reverse space for decades now
inside of 44.103.0.0/16 that is nothing new to us. We have never used *.ampr.org
<http://ampr.org> for any DNS related items for any of our allocations.. Allocations
which are still listed in the portal mind you as we are in the middle of migrating from
the different 44.103/16 allocations into our new single 44.15/16, this migration mind you
was done at the request of ARDC. You know how many hosts and devices we have had to
change over the past month now. I know we are not the only BGP speaking allocation holder
that was asked to re-ip and move down the “band” so to speak.
So while 44.15/16 is “new” how we use it is no different then our 44.103/16 allocations.
But it was Brian(SK) who did our reverse delegations to our servers. Last email I have
on some changes from Brian was on July,29th - 2014. So this isn’t “New” process.. Maybe
it’s not something that was done for IPIP only allocations but we have always been BGP
based as was listed in the portal.
And you keep referring to 44.15/16 so yes you are targeting our network.
