I sent them the RFC yesterday and even sent them the KB article from SimpleDNS.com but I think they still have something done incorrectly.  It's amazing how large hosts take proper DNS administration for granted these days.

I don't have time to teach them how to do this anymore, so unfortunately I think I'm going to throw in the towel and just have them create the PTR records for me...right now I just need them to resolve!

Thanks everyone for your input. I will reference this thread for them in the next few weeks if I'm able to fine someone able to make the proper changes.
