The issue we ran into was that we couldn't get them to *unassign* a CNAME for an IP block so that it would fail immediately, and so servers (web,ftp, etc) which requested rDNS for the connection information would time out connections waiting for the non-existent nameservers. We weren't really interested in handling rDNS for the IP given that it wasn't handling mail, web, or have any A records pointing to it. It is the easiest way to get it done, though. Jack Bates
