you're right. it will be. people will have to clean up their in-addr.arpa. or am i missing some reason they can't, other than laziness?
Well - unless you have a /24, in-addr.arpa is typically under the control of your upstream provider.
RFC2317.
So, especially in countries where most if not all the IP providers you get are dumber than rocks, rDNS is often dismissed as an unnecessary luxury. Especially when you have maybe one IP allocated for a colocated server, rather than a /24 or two.
Maybe more people should do what AOL says they may do, then. Joe
