Well, this is probably the same problem that many of us have had-namely,
your reverse DNS is not delegated to you, and your ISP must update their DNS
to reflect this...when they do your PTR records will delegate properly...
NOTE: This is a SERIOUS problem, since many servers (AOL for one) will
refuse to load your site if the forward and reverse DNS do not match...
