Wow, I didn't know their tech support was that competent.

I had RDNS trouble with a comcast connection (DHCP pulled an IP fine
but a reverse DNS lookup on it failed).  *I* told *them* to open up a
DOS window and run "nslookup" and they told me they couldn't do it.

Go figure.

Incidentally, the way I solved the problem was cosmically ironic: I
changed the MAC address of my WAN NIC to C0:11:CA:S1:S0:CS (hacker
type for "COMCAST SUCS"), and the IP I got had the proper PTR
record. :)
