If you are working on a dynamic line you should consider to either upgrade

But bear in mind, that even statics does not guarantee you will
have an option to specify the reverse.
Many ISPs will simply NOT allow you to specify a reverse.
Having a static IP will have two benefits:
- dns resolution will always point to the right ip address
- (hopefully) your ip is not marked as dynamic in a blacklist
Having a proper reverse DNs means that:
- your provider is on good speaking terms with the provider of address
space (or even that he is the address space provider)
- your dns name is meant to last for some time.
it ist not neccessary for the client itself to have the option to define
the reverse dns name. But if I am asking my provider to take care of
setting the pointer to the right name, he should either do it or I will
take my business to someone who CAN do it. Even if he is more expensive
than the big ISP. Currently we are paying quite a bit of money for our
line plus the transfer volume. But our provider is doing his very best to
make us happy, so we pay his outrageous fees.
