I don't think you'll get much disagreement that AT&T is not a great ISP.

One straightforward workaround is to get an IPv6 tunnel from
Hurricane. It's free, it works, and they will delegate the rDNS
anywhere you want. My local ISP doesn't do IPv6 at all (they're a
rural phone company who of course say you are the only person who's
ever asked) so until they do, HE is a quite adequate option.

R's,
