This is where it's an advantage to get your ISP to host your DNS
records. You *may* be able to get them to put in a PTR record for you.
You've very unlikely to get them to do so when you host your records
elsewhere.
The scary part of asking my ISP to host my DNS records is:
[root@bend kernel]# dig any www.mesanetworks.net
; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> any www.mesanetworks.net
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
I'm sure they'll be back sometime soon. Out for a beer maybe 'cause
it's Friday night.
Cheers,
Dave
