[plug] Reverse DNS Issue

[Shannon Carver]

Ah, thanks, I thought this might be the case, I wondered why I would
have to make a dns entry for a sole IP.  Looks a little silly:

db.xx.58.203

With one entry in the bottom: 136		IN	PTR
router.beth.com.au


As you've probably guessed, this isn't an iiNet issue.  All IP's I've
had with both amnet and iiNet have had correct reverse dns settings in
place.

It's the ISP's job. Or more specifically, it is the job of the entity 
which owns the subnet containing the IP address. iiNet's hostmaster is 
generally pretty helpful about reverse lookups on *fixed* IP addresses.
