The existence of a forward mapping is not a necessary technical precondition for you to insert a reverse mapping which points in the right direction, i.e. at the organization operating the boxes. However I also have trouble seeing why any ISP would willingly decline to register it's boxes in the DNS.
Welcome to the USA, Land of a thousand startup ISP's. They decline for a couple of reasons: - They don't have DNS running internally - They perceive the EP node to be "outside" their domain - They don't know/care - A default is provided. Now I will agree that the forward mapping is not a necessary technical precondition, there is a need to the reverse mapping. That mapping needs a name. -- --bill
