If the reverse mapping points to some valid A record, why do you need to change it? There aren't many applications that really depend on the reverse name - for most of the things it's enough that the reverse name is a valid one.

One of my customers has just been told he needs to pay to get a DNS reverse map entry for thei Green ADSL line with fixed IP. Is that really true??
I had a similar query lately, and administration@green.ch replied that with MPS1 (1 IP address) they won't do it, they will do it only for MPS8 and with a delegation.
That's the answer my customer got too.
That's a pity, but it's how marketing works.
It's not only very poor marketing, it's incredibly arrogant. Selling a static IP and then charging extra for the reverse mapping ...

Hey Stan

You never tried to operate a mailserver behind a DSL-connection yet, right? :)

In this case, the reverse lookup returns something like
zux000-nnn-nnn.adsl.green.ch.
The customer is (quite reasonably) running a mailserver on it, and would like the reverse mapping to be set up properly.
