On this subject (marginally), last year we moved a rather large CIDR block from one ISP to another.
The new ISP took it upon themselves to give *ALL* our unused IP addresses a bogus reverse lookup in the (general) format of 10.20.30.40.abc.domain.com No one asked them to do this (or, at least if they did, they won't admit to it), and none of the reverse lookups can be looked up "forwardly". Is this a common practice? It doesn't seem like a good idea, but the ISP insisted it was a "value-added" service. In my opinion, a dead address should remain dead. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
