You need to find out who has the authoritative reverse for your IP
addresses.  If you have access to a unix machine, you can use whois a.b.c.d
to find out the orginazation responsible for setting those IPs' reversals
up.  Contact them and arrange any sort of reverse mapping, even if its
66.96.192.3.hostnoc.net ;)
