I use www.eclipse.net.uk the important thing that they do is REVERSE DNS,
I do the forward DNS -- master config from my own box (ie complete control)
& somewhere else (with very good connectivity) that the rest of the world sees
as primary.
Do ask whatever ISP if they do the reverse dns since they control the
IP addresses so they do the reverse bit.

I have had very few probs with my alcatel blue 'ray'/fish.
