If he has a static IP and decides to run his own DNS and if he owns his domain name, he could setup Simple DNS (as I did reciently). In going to Network Solutions I specified my own DNS server name and worked out an agreement with a company for FREE Secondary DNS.
SimpleDNS generates the reverse ptr records automatically and is very easy to use. You only need 1 IP to use it and simply point both your domain IP and your dns ip to the same address. In the case where he has a dynamic ip, that can be handled by UltraDNS rather that SimpleDNS. And so thats why I mentioned UltraDNS, just in case. I can send and recieve mail to AOL just fine with the Sambar SMTP/MTA's along with my SimpleDNS.
