They have to setup rev dns to your dns server and you will need to maintain your own also.

The question I have is (and, I feel that I should already know this but can't remember) is: We have a block of IP addresses from our BW Provider. They own the IP Block, are they the ones who would handle the reverse dns of this block or do we handle it on our servers. Is it the responsibility of who ever is listed in ARIN (which makes sense to me)?
