How do i delegate i.p addresses ??

[Gerald Waugh]

One advantage of reverse lookups is that if someone queries (dig, nslookup)
your IP, it will be resolved to your domain, else it will resolve to Digex,
sometimes it's nice to have your own domain name appear. Makes you look more
like the real thing, instead of looking like a virtual site.

If you add a record in /etc/hosts (*nux) or \windows\hosts for your domain,
I believe sendmail will be happy, I am not sure about windows, but it works
on Linux.
