My server is dedicated, so I guess I am the ISP :)
I ran the tool at my provider, softlayer.com, and it gives the following
results:
208.101.57.188 86400 IN ptr 208.101.57.188-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
208.101.57.189 86400 IN ptr 208.101.57.189-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
208.101.57.190 86400 IN ptr 208.101.57.190-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
208.101.57.191 86400 IN ptr 208.101.57.191-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
208.101.58.177(Gateway) 86400 IN ptr 208.101.58.177-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
208.101.58.178 86400 IN ptr 208.101.58.178-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
and all have a TTL of 1 day
57.188 is the site in question's IP
So, i have an RDNS record already, no?
