Really Fouled Up

I had to move my servers to a new colo host last week. In advance of the move, I was assigned:

>Your IP pool is
>209.75.187.201-206 with a gateway of 209.75.187.200 and a netmask of
>255.255.255.248 and your broadcast will be 209.75.187.207

Being no subnetting wizard, I took them at their word and started assigning these new numbers and creating new QDNS data files that I could simply copy into the Primary Data folder when the time came, etc. I sent my new host a list of how I wanted the reverse resolution set up.

I assigned the .201 address and sent in domain registrations to InterNIC using the .201 address -- which turned out to be the gateway address for this subnet. The result was that the .201 address ended up listed with INterNIC as the primary name server web and mail server address for umpteen domains. I've been trying to straighten it out ever since.

Of course, this made my mail server unreachable so I could not send corrected templates in to InterNIC. After multiple phone calls, I finally had to fax instructions to InterNIC (including a scan of a photo ID!). And they still haven't straightened out the mess -- they did not follow the instructions I sent.

And though my upstream says they have the reverse DNS working, I can't get the numbers to resolve.

Can any of you resolve the following numbers?

209.75.187.202
.203
.205
.206
