Yes, you are correct. I am listed in the database because I have a static ip and have authority over both my domain and my SimpleDNS server. I have named another DNS server at a location some 300 miles distant from me as a secondary DNS server in my domain management at Network Solutions. Do a whois for chicopee.com and you'll see that I did it correctly.
Our friend Steve, which we are trying to help is on Charter Cable and is using a dynamic IP. As such he is trying to use NO-IP.COM for his dns services and appearently NO-IP.COM is not willing to supply a reverse ptr for him. That's where UntraDNS.COM differs. They will provide a dns for your dynamic IP, give you a reverse ptr, and even provide backup email services among other things. In addition, UltraDNS is the registrar for the .ORG domain names and so they have an excellent reputation as well as some clout as far as their DNS servers are concerned.
