Got it! You’re the winner here. I just setup both of my zones the name way and obviously AT&T changed the way they did RDNS entries from when I got a /25 last November and this second /25 in June. Oh well! Now I am running into the challenge of Route53 does seem to support creating an authoritative zone for "128/25.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa.” It changes it to "128\05725.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa.” every time… *sigh* If it isn't one thing its something else.

Interesting… Guess I need to do more digging.
if I had to guess I'd say that 'sometime long ago' they did one way, then decided to just follow the RFC ... which probably also makes their provisioning automation much simpler.
as I said, there are more than 1 way to skin the cat :( sadly you (and I, at least) were used to the 'old fashioned method' welcome to 1998 (apparently!) :)

Which is obviously a completely invalid DNS entry. I have opened a ticket through the web portal for “prov-dns” but Haven’t gotten a response for 7 days.
If anyone from AT&T DNS or knows anyone from AT&T DNS that can help it would be appreciated!
isn't this one of the proper forms of reverse delegation in CIDR land?
like: http://support.simpledns.com/kb/a146/how-to-sub-delegate-a-reverse-zone.aspx <http://support.simpledns.com/kb/a146/how-to-sub-delegate-a-reverse-zone.aspx>
describes, or in a (perhaps more wordy fashion) in RFC2317? http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2317 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2317>
I think it may be the case that the NS hosts are not prepared for such a domain/record mapping though... the nameservers that would need to to be authoritative for a zone like:
128/25.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa.
and have a bunch of PTR records like:
128 IN PTR foo.you.com <http://foo.you.com/>. 129 IN PTR bar.you.com <http://bar.you.com/>.
etc...
