Which means that they might be sensible ...
One thing that I have not been able to find an adsl provider do is to
do reverse IP address mapping. I want the forward/backward DNS entries to
match - oh, I have my own domain, so I don't want something like foo-bar.f2s.net.

Will f2s do that -- or, being friends of yours, can you pursuade them that
obeying the RFCS is something that they ought to do.
