I think that it should be either change local DNS or call ISP to
change it, not both at once. Having both usually creates/hides
different kinds of problems.
Yes, ideally the configuration lives in one place. Multi-master is
always problematic. Particularly for day to day operations.
Initial configuration is another story. That will likely involve
configuration at both ends. I.e. ISP delegating to customer and
customer configuring their name server appropriately.

of course.
e.g. pasteur-cayenne.246.2.186.in-addr.arpa and they put RFC
2317-like CNAME delegations to that.
Maybe. Maybe not. I'd likely have stern words with an ISP if they
tried to dictate to me how I configured my DNS zones and servers.
I'd tell you that I want the DNS properly working on both sides :)
I can see the ISP informing the customer of what options they support
and then the customer choosing from that set.
About the only reason that I'll accept from an ISP for them trying to
dictate what zone is used is them admitting that their configuration
management system having limitations and not supporting what I want.
Also depends on who's more knowlegeable about DNS.
Yes, it can work, but I personally don't like setting up multiple
reverse subdomains like this. I believe configuring single domain
for multiple records is theway to go.
As an ISP, you're only working with one domain, namely the associated
in-addr.arpa domain. So why do you care how many domains the client
needs to configure on their server?
Your desire to slave transfer not withstanding. But even that is your
desire.
as long as an ISP wants to be slave for every domain on client's server,
every domain there means one zone definition at ISP. as DNS manager I
wanted to have all domains properly working. And since we had much more DNS
servers than most of our customers (one or two), I expected that
Your desire to have a slave copy means that you are beholden to how
the domain owner wants to configure things. If that's one domain,
fine. If that's multiple domains, then so be it.
in any case, if the OP needs to fixing things on the local side AND
to call ISP to change it, something is broken, or at least
inefficiently implemented.
I don't know if "broken" is how I'd describe this. I think the OP is
still in the early set up phase. Thus why it's normal that he needs
to call the ISP to get them to do the initial configuration.
mostly depends on the current setup and real reason why the OP needed to
configure his master AND to call the ISP...
