I'm having an awfully hard time reading your message because of the screwy
way you interspersed your questions with the mail from your ISP.  Please
try to write more clearly.

Your block is 64.42.54.232/29.  You should set up the domain the way Gerald
suggested, unless your ISP tells you otherwise (they might use a different
naming scheme, for instance in our default naming scheme it would be
232-29.54.42.64.in-addr.arpa).
