Subject: [AusNOG] Changing reverse DNS on interface /30s


Hi all,
 
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.
 
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).
 
What is the standard practice here?  No other providers we've ever worked
with have had any issues with doing this.
 
Alex
