    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...

    Sincerely,
