Instead of delegating the RDNS to you, would they make the changes for you? Say, give them a list of your IPs and what you would like the RDNS to be?
I guess I'm very fortunate to have worked with competent, and cooperative ISPs the past 5 years. I too had my servers once on SDSL. and in 2 different colo facilities. All gave me RDNS the way I wanted it. (btw, all the providers I used were great, I just moved a few times)

That's just not fair, AND not worth your money. You should demand that they serve you the way you need to be!

ARgggH!! Agreed. Stupid admins! Is the world not full of too many of them already?
Thanks for chiming in with your thoughts. I think you need to pressure your provider to give you RDNS entries with your own domain name content, after all you are a paying business-class customer. You might want to refer them to the RFC that states RDNS is a good thing, your being lumped into dynamic block lists based on the contents of the existing RDNS name is a serious operational issue, and AOL's policies for blocking email.
