RFC2317.
So, especially in countries where most if not all the IP providers you get are dumber than rocks, rDNS is often dismissed as an unnecessary luxury. Especially when you have maybe one IP allocated for a colocated server, rather than a /24 or two.
Maybe more people should do what AOL says they may do, then. Joe
