Reverse DNSing even when ISP doesn't offer it
Is it possible to have reverse DNSing even if ISP doesn't offer this service? Suppose I have this static IP which I have already created a forward DNS entry for it - does there exist a free service which will allow me to add a reverse DNS entry in all DNS servers such that my.ip.address will appear as my.domain.com? If not, suppose I have access to an ISP (friends are sys. admins etc..) how it is done?

ehpserver, thanks for your response. I'm still not 100% clear though -> Would that mean that I can actually do a reverse zone myself, even though the ISP doesn't do one? Would it still work that way?
