It has to do with who is "authoritive" for a particular domain. In the case of a domain that your run and administer you can run a DNS server and be "authoritative" for (as an example) "mydomain.com".....as long as it has been properly delegated to your servers. When it comes to reverse lookups the "domains" are generally of the type which are based on a "C" class network. An example of this would be 99.74.211.in-addr.arpa Which is the domain for the 211.74.99.X address space. So, for you to be "authoritative" for the domain that includes your IP address. Normally, your ISP doesn't give you (it has to be delegated) control over this since you don't normally get a C class address space for you to administer. The "short" answer....it to contact your ISP and ask them if they will put the needed information into their DNS servers to statisfy a reverse lookup.
