OK. So you get hit by 129.257.34.98. You look up the PTR and get back 98.34.257.129.cable-pool-slash-12.covad.net. What did you gain here? You knew it was in a Covad /12 before, and that's all you know after, and Covad *still* isn't stopping their customer's bad behavior. After all, you didn't *really* care that the IP was assigned to a computer belonging to Herman Munster, 1313 Mockingbird Lane. What you actually *wanted* was for somebody (preferably Covad) to hand Herman a clue.
