Yes it is possible to have more that one reverse lookup zone. But I am not sure that this will satisfy what you are trying to achieve. It all really depends on if you have everything in the sky.com domain on a different subnet than the kite.com domain. so you would add another entry similar to the one you already have, e.g,

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "sky.com.rev";
allow-update{none;};
};

but if both domains use the same ip address ranges then this will not work as you want. You wouldn't put this:

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "sky.com.rev";
allow-update{none;};
};

I am not even really sure what would happen if you did. You would probably either get an error or the last zone named 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa would probably win.
