Nice in theory. In this country you can't control the reverses unless you "own"[1] the IP address, and you can't get any IPs from APNIC unless you're a service provider and you've got loads of cash. As an end user it's almost impossible to get an IP I could control the reverse of. -- C. [1] I'm not really allowed to say "own" because officially you don't "own" IP addresses, you just get to use them.
