Slighty related...

Can people please post their recommended reverse dns naming conventions for a small ISP with growth and scalability in 
mind. 
I already have one drawn up, but I would like to contrast and compare :D

Thanks

I want to ask some folks out there that maintain reverse DNS queries

me to contact my upstream provider. I am in charge of 2 /24's under
LACNIC. I've already registered my DNS servers on LACNIC. but for some
weird reason it's not owning reverse resolves. any tips would be
gladly appreciated.

The RIRs don't maintain rDNS for you.  You'll have to trace the
delegations downward from in-addr.arpa, find out who's handling your
/24's, and contact them to get them to delegate your chunks to you.

R's,
