It looks fine but I have a question. 

One can download the .ARPA zone files from the same places as the root
zone, by https or ftp from internic.net and by AXFR from two icann.org
servers. Will that change? As far as I know it's not documented
anywhere; you just have to know it's in the same places as the root.

R's,
John
