In my discussions with people at some big ISPs, I got the impression that they could do that, but it wouldn't provide any more useful information than no rDNS at all, so they don't. I'm on T-W cable, and there's no way for me to set rDNS. It'd be more trouble than it's worth, since my /64 changes every time the modem reboots which seems to be about once a month. Real servers on static addresses are different, of course. My servers are on an HE tunnel, and all have matching forward and reverse DNS. R's, John
