It is PARTLY the ISP's problem.  If they are unwilling to change the PTR
record for the in-addr.arpa domain then the user is responsible for
changing the hostname to match the exiating PTR record.

In other words, you should probably set your hostname to what returns when
you do a name lookup on your IP address if you ISP is not willing to
change it.
