Provision won't create the reverse zone, as there really isn't anything
it can do - it doesn't know the full scope of your network, nor does it
know if it even should.

This applies to both solutions - any reverse zone you had before was not
created by provision.  You should be able to add a reverse zone with the
DNS management tools, but I don't know if this has been explored
particularly much yet.
