5.7 in-addr.arpa

By default, MyDNS responds to requests for records in the `in-addr.arpa' zone by referencing the PTR table. If any matching records exist, MyDNS considers itself authoritative for that portion of the `in-addr.arpa' namespace and serves the requested record(s). If the request is for a SOA record in `in-addr.arpa' (for example, when BIND 8 initiates an AXFR), MyDNS fabricates a SOA record.

If you want to set up your own SOA record for an `in-addr.arpa' zone, you may feel free to do so. MyDNS will honor it when SOA requests are received for those records, instead of making up its own SOA record.
