   No. They need to get reverse DNS for their IP address range delegated to   
   their nameservers as well. That's done by their ISP.

   Not really feasible. If you're coming from a home connection you're   
   using your residential ISP's IP addresses. A reverse lookup will say   
   that you're coming from something like comcast.net, there's no   
   connection to your employer.   
      
   Unless you use a VPN to route all your traffic through your company's   
   network.
