I can't see how that will work. If an IP block say belongs to Verizon, 
THEY are authoritive. You just can't "steal" stuff and have it resolve 
both ways.

I dunno - maybe my understanding of DNS is wrong - but it just can't and 
dont work that way if you want a responce from some domain 1/2 way 
around the world.
