Brad, please re-read what I said. I spoke about ISPs, not DSL
providers. If working reverse DNS is a very important consideration
for some customer, they can always find an ISP who can accommodate
that. This might of course mean choosing some other way of shifting
bits from what any monopoly DSL provider has to offer. So the customer
makes their choice and pays their money. This probably is a much more
effective way of getting results than writing up a BCP.

Please note that I'm not saying monopoly DSL (or whatever) providers
should be encouraged to ignore reverse DNS for their customers.
