Is this common?I have a CDPD card which has a fixed address. It's from Verizon Wireless. There's no INADDR. There seems to be a lack of understanding and clue all around on INADDR, which is the motivation for the above-mentioned draft. Having something to point network operators and server operators to would, IMO, help.
The lack of clue tends to be on the providing in-addr side of things. I think it is a great thing to refuse connections from ips without in-addr, in the same way it is great to refuse mail from domains that don't provide postmaster addresses. It is a means through which one can influence the laziness of others. Simply disregarding what others do, only legitimizes the laziness, and continues us along the road of everyone doing the absolute minimum. Simply accepting the connections seems to be a "path of least resistance" which befits a pointy-hair more than an engineer.
-- I suppose I could set up a bogus reverse for him, but, feh...Either you set up something, or you can make your server not care about reverse, or lose the customer.
You neglect to include the option of the customer changing to an ISP that provides in-addr.
