   Well, yes, it could be the ISP. Some years, ago, I believe ATTBI, before   
   it was Comcast, I complained that the address they assigned to me   
   didn't have a reverse, and I was having problems contacting site.   
   (Many ftp sites would refuse connections.)  They fixed it.   
      
   But there are also private organizations big enough to be their   
   own ISP, or otherwise to administer a significant number of   
   publicly addressable hosts.   
      
   thanks!
