You still won't be able to do reverse DNS. However, forward DNS works just fine. I have a friend for example that administrates his own zone files for the two domains he owns. My primary name server pulls that info from his box, and my secondaries will pull it from my primary. His domains all reference my name servers. That way the domains use stable name servers, but he is still able to make changes (i.e. new CNAME and A records) without my involvement. Again, this is only for forward resolution. Reverse resolution has always to be delegated by the IP block owner to a stable name server within that block. I'm not aware of any ISP who would delegate reverse resolution to an address outside of their control.
