You can use samba-tool dns commands to create a reverse zone.

To create a reverse zone for 192.168.1.0/24 subnet,

$ samba-tool dns zonecreate <server> 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa

And then you can add record (e.g. test1.my.domain -> 192.168.1.1)

$ samba-tool dns add <server> 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 1 PTR test1.my.domain
