I've had similar problem at SpeakEasy. They still don't have a reverse-DNS clue. http://www.mhsc.com/recovery.htm None of the DSL ISPs can do larger than /27 anymore, even when they're ILECs. Anything less than a /24 can't be SWIP'd and if you don't control your in-addr.arpa entries you don't control your domain and have no security.

<FLAME ON>
PSINet dumped all of their DSL customers onto CAIS. Covad is the backhaul provider for them both. Need I say more?
Bottom line, I dont know how many thousands of people were without service for more than a day because the whole transfer was botched.
We have a situation where we had a DSL connection from PSI and were using our own IP addresses. Problem is that no one changed the routing tables and the packets dead-ended at PSI.
Getting CAIS to fix this problem has been a nightmare. At first, PSI didnt stop announcing the routes and now that they have, it seems that CAIS will not announce the routes till Monday becuase "no one at our NOC knows how to do this and the one guy (ONE GUY IN THE WHOLE COMPANY - AND THEY ARE A NATIONWIDE PROVIDER????) who knows how doesn't work weekends."
