Reverse DNS. The ISP will own the class C address block that you will
have (you are going for a fixed IP address, right ?).

You will presumably want your own DNS to point to your box using
whatever domain you have. Some services (like mail) do sometimes
refuse to play unless forward/backward DNS match.

Not all ISPs are up to getting this right (BT is one that can't).
