   Like Barry said, "reverse DNS" is at the heart of what you're asking.   
   Once you understand the concept, you will realize that the differences   
   in BigCo and you are really scale and what types of connections you   
   have, plus who's in control of said connections.   
      
   But specifically "reverse DNS".
