In practice I don’t think this is an issue. The reverse lookup is usually 
triggered by receipt of a message from an IP address, so as long as the IP 
address is still in use internally, the presence of the reverse zone is wanted. 
When the address changes, the old zone becomes obsolete whether it continues to 
be served or not. The likelihood of the zone being re-allocated to some other 
network for which the original network will then do a reverse lookup is very 
small, so I don’t think there’s any reason to be concerned about this.
