My provider (Idiom.com) not only has reverse DNS but a web widget under 
the accounts system that allows me to control it effectively.  My 
publicly visible systems reverse perfectly.   

There's a first-Tuesday party I can invite you to in Redwood City if
you'd like to meet the fellow who runs it.  Not alone of course.  But
yes, they're definitely clued.

Unfortunately some of his offerings are a little more on the expensive
side.  I simply point you at his website, you'll have to decide if you
like what you see on your own.  But during normal business hours you
could just call 'em and they'd actually help you figure out the ranges :)
