Remove the reverse delegation?  Worked with us a few years back when  
our parent company decided that 'this apnic thing' didn't need to be  
paid and let our membership lapse..  We had no idea till outbound mail  
started bouncing because the reverse DNS on our /20 was pulled..  It's  
something that can be 'put back' pretty darned fast once their contact  
details are fixed..  Or just do reverse lookups on some of the ip's in  
the range, and get contact details for the domains using those IP's,  
and email them about it.. - I'm sure if you got an email from APNIC  
saying your hosting provider had let their contact details lapse and  
the subnet was about to be suspended or the like, youd be getting onto  
your host ;)

Cheers,

DG
