It appears Road Runner has in the last few weeks put in a policy where 
they blacklist any IP addresses with a reverse DNS that is in a 
"residential" range.

For some reason, my business DSL connection is falling into that range, 
or at least Road Runner believes it to be so (Covad is the ISP). So now I 
have to call my ISP to find out what the heck is going on so my mail 
servers will stop being blacklisted by Road Runner.

As long as I am calling them, I am going to try and see if they will give 
me a proper reverse DNS entry for my mail server (not likely, but it 
can't hurt to ask). So my question to the list is: What would I want the 
rDNS to be? My regular dns is mail.mythtech.net with SIMS having a "Main 
Domain Name" entry of mythtech.net

So which would I want as my rDNS? And should the two entries I have now 
match (ie: should I change SIMS to mail.mythtech.net to match the DNS 
entry that points to the machine).

It probably won't matter as I'm sure Covad isn't going to be willing to 
give me a custom rDNS entry, but I figured I should have the correct 
answers ready in case the person I get on the line decides to do it.
