<DIV><SPAN class=444451001-31082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having trouble
getting a certain troublesome IP transit provider (let's refer to them with a
pseudonym like, say, AS2764) to set useful reverse DNS entries on the /30
between our router and their router. We'd like the reverse DNS for the
address on our interface to be something potentially helpful like
ge-0-0-3.border2.190cit.dtdigital.com.au rather than something
generic.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=444451001-31082007><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Their engineers claim they can't do this because both of
the addresses are physically on their router (provably untrue) and because doing
this would impact on their ability to account for traffic on those interfaces
(laughably untrue).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=444451001-31082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the standard
practice here? No other providers we've ever worked with have had any
issues with doing this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
