Hi

As others have indicated, this block has been delegated to you using RFC2317
- Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation.

You have to make configure a zone in your named.conf named
162-27.3.187.64.in-addr.arpa.

Then populate this zone with your data. Something like
...
$ORIGIN 162-27.3.187.64.in-addr.arpa.
170        PTR     smtp3.netcraftcommunications.com.
...
