Give us an example of one of your /24 blocks.  Or look it up at ARIN to see 
what they think the authoritative nameservers are.  Here is an example of one 
of mine:

https://whois.arin.net/rest/rdns/192.49.69.in-addr.arpa.

 

(this is for 69.49.192.0/24)

I'm the owner of the IP space, how exactly can I get this rdns entry made? Does 
this involve hosting a DNS server or can I just make an entry into one of 
ARIN's databases?

as long as ARIN points to those nameservers as authoritative for your block.

 

Are you saying this customer is using IP space from another provider, or has 
their own?  You would need to get the owner of that block to delegate DNS to 
you for that IP address or subnet.

 

I remember once I was doing hosting for a customer who had a T1 from AT&T, and 
AT&T policy was not to provide rDNS for AT&T blocks assigned to a customer if 
that customer’s domain was hosted elsewhere.  Actually, what AT&T did was to 
delegate rDNS to my nameservers without telling me first, which resulted in 
constant lame delegation log entries.

Is it possibe to make a reverse DNS entry for a customer doing hosting on their 
service if I'm not hosting my DNS in house ? ( Ducks)

 

I'm assuming not? Anyway to resolve their request with hosted DNS or through 
Arin's website ?
