Do you mean .42.168.192.in-addr.arpa instead of 42.168.192.in-addr.arpa?

Yes, it works correctly:
ihsan at kraftbuech:~$ dig -t ns 42.168.192.in-addr.arpa. @192.168.42.3

; <<>> DiG 9.4.3-P1 <<>> -t ns 42.168.192.in-addr.arpa. @192.168.42.3

But if send the query to the Unbound resolver, I don't get an answer:
ihsan at kraftbuech:~$ dig -t ns 42.168.192.in-addr.arpa. @192.168.42.2
