Why?  Do to email?  Then why have I never had such problems?  Because I 
send through an SMTP relay server?  Well, yes, but one needs to do that 
in any case if coming from a "dial-up" address.  But this seems to be 
not only necessary but also sufficient.

Many names can translate to the same numerical address, but each 
numerical address has only one name, right?  Many people run several 
domains on the same IP address, providing a full range of services.

If they are, then "correct" reverse translation probably won't help.
