who's your ISP? If your ISP is ubersoft then it is probably they who
would need to do this for you. If your the domain owner and you have
been assigned a range of IP's with your internet connectivity service
then likely you will have to do this yourself. Did you set up the DNS
for this domain? It may be that your provider simply hasn't delegated
the reverse zone to your name server for one reason or another. 

#nslookup 196.31.69.30
Server:  localhost.meibin.net
Address:  127.0.0.1

*** localhost.meibin.net can't find 196.31.69.30: Non-existent host/domain


Sorry you will have to be a bit more specific with us about your setup.
