Unfortunately the issue hasn't been resolved yet as nobody at our ISP has any idea what I'm talking about. I forwarded them this message but they didn't understand what they needed to do on their end to set this up. Oh well... I assume I'm going to need them to correct their DNS records before setting up reverse domains on our end will have any effect. I do appreciate the advice, though.
