Your reverse DNS domain is delegated to Verio:

37.20.207.in-addr.arpa.	86400	NS	b.ns.verio.net.
37.20.207.in-addr.arpa.	86400	NS	dns1.ncal.verio.net.
37.20.207.in-addr.arpa.	86400	NS	dns2.ncal.verio.net.
37.20.207.in-addr.arpa.	86400	NS	ns1.verio.net.

It doesn't matter what you have turned on, you have to get *them* to
install the PTR record.

If they've assigned this class C to you (according to ARIN, this class C
has been assigned to Global Network Services in Redwood City, CA), you
should get them to delegate the reverse DNS to your servers.  If only a
subnet has been assigned to you, the technique in RFC 2317 will have to be
used.
