Re: educating rDNS violators

I'd say a good chunk of what you're seeing with regards to reverse DNS not
being set up has to do with the fact that folks are tired of fighting with
ISPs when they leave and simply work with an outfit like Register.com,
using the Register.com DNS servers for forward lookup.

Right, wrong, or indifferent, you have to go to the IP block owner (like
say Qwest) and get the reverse-DNS set up.  That is not always
particularly easy.

I'm not defending, simply explaining.  Especially with the advent of cheap
business class broadband, you're seeing far lower service levels than you
used to with T1 circuits.

Just my observations...
