Reverse DNS

Back in July when I moved my servers to a new colo provider I right away picked up on the fact that their reverse DNS was not working right. Only people using their name server (209.75.187.135) actually got results. They had previously thought everything was working fine because they all use their own name servers. They do have their end configured properly as near as I can tell but their DNS is not authoritative for their class C (I think).

I pointed this out to them and urged them to get it fixed. They haven't yet. Their Hostmaster says the problem is with ARIN. I did what little investigating I could and thought the bottleneck was imi.net or some-such. (it's been a while.) I have a range of addresses in the same class C and all I know is that they're supposed to be providing reverse DNS for me and they aren't.

Would one of you folks be able to tell me just who has to do what to get authority for reverse DNS for that particular class C assigned to the people using it? I'd like to light a fire under their hostmaster but I'd like to know more than I do about just what the heck needs to be done.

Thanks.
