What they APPEAR to be doing is delegating, individually, each element
of 0.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa - 255.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa to
ns8.zoneedit.com and ns13.zoneedit.com. Try these:
dig ns 185.28.69.in-addr.arpa
dig any 1.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa @dns.lax.llns.net
dig any 0.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa @dns.lax.llns.net
dig any 255.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa @dns.lax.llns.net
dig any 256.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa @dns.lax.llns.net
Anything 0-255 returns the delegated name servers. I only tried 256
outside that range, but it returns an SOA as authority rather than the
delegated name servers.
dig ptr 1.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa
-> gw.house.tucs-beachin-obx-house.com.
This is not how you or I would do it. But add a few more PTR records
and see how well it works.
