http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1912.html RFC 1912 - Common DNS Operational and Configuration Errors
Please consider RFC1912 section 2.1 that doesn't *require* that the reverse DNS entries, but makes it clear that not having one is a "use at your own risk" type of situation.

Jason, I think I have been convinced to push this issue with MPower. First I hope that John's contact can help me out, but I will also forward the RFC to them.
Thanks for the debate! :)
