I'm not aware of any ISPs that *will* set reverse DNS records for people
with static IPs, unless you have a T1 or other premium service. I've been
involved in setting up a few business-class DSL connections (/28s, mostly)
and all of them stated in the terms of service that custom reverse DNS
wasn't part of the deal.

About a decade ago, when Internet access was expensive, and always-on
connections (or, in some areas, any connections at all) were solely the
province of colleges and large companies, you could get that kind of
personalized service from an ISP. Now it's a commodity, margins are slim,
and they just don't deal with it anymore.

I suppose you could always set your mailer to send an EHLO line that matches
your reverse DNS. It would probably satisfy the DNS purists, but it
wouldn't provide any useful information since you're not actually accepting
mail for that domain.
