interface /30s<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=444451001-31082007><FONT size=2>Hi all,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=444451001-31082007><FONT size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=444451001-31082007><FONT 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
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 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>
