While MacDNS actually does reverse DNS, your server is probably not authoritative for your IP. Ask your provider to make the appropriate entry. Based on an ARIN lookup using <http://www.arin.net/whois/>, that would be WesTel Telecommunications (NETBLK-WESTEL) WESTNETBLK 204.244.0.0 - 204.244.255.255 North East Online Network (NETBLK-WESTEL-9902-59-128) WESTEL-9902-59-128 204.244.59.128 - 204.244.59.143 WesTel owns the whole 204.244 class B block and have delegated responsibility to North East Online Network for your subblock. My guess is that they are your provider. Contact them and they should be able to set up the appropriate reverse DNS.
