They have to host the Forward first? That's ludicrious!! What a scheme! LOL.
I used to use Qwest and I did not host any one of the 25 domains I was
hosting with them at all. But they did delegate the reverse to my two name
servers with no problems. I had the whole IP 'C' block.

I would look for another provider... :-)
