Your providers DNS can only do reverse lookups for the entries it knows about. And that would require you to be in charge of the authority name server for the example.com domain.
Even if you could do the reverse lookup as wanted, it still wouldn't work outside your own network, as you're using IPs from a private block, which wouldn't be routed beyond your provider, at best.

I don't want to get into a flame war about internet freedom of content that we own. But I still think the ISP shouldn't be allowed to block content, for an example if I was to watch hulu, ISP shouldn't be allowed to slow down the connection or block hulu. I should get consistent access to anything and the ability to do what I want with my content I made by opening ports to my webserver. I am not going to be come a web host or anything, it's just for some of my stuff I made and I am sharing with people. That's it for me, I'm not changing my mind, please do not add to that or say I'm wrong as this would go into a flame war.

And I understand that my ISP controls the reverse lookup from macwunder.

Thanks for your help,

vxvoladmtask(1M)														  vxvoladmtask(1M)

NAME

       vxvoladmtask - administer ISP tasks

SYNOPSIS

       vxvoladmtask abort task_tag

       vxvoladmtask clear [task_tag]

       vxvoladmtask list

       vxvoladmtask [-t time] [-n] monitor task_tag

       vxvoladmtask set task_tag=new_task_tag

DESCRIPTION

       The  vxvoladmtask utility can be used to perform basic administrative operations on tasks that have been created by the Intelligent Storage
       Provisioning (ISP) feature of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM).  You can use the command to list ISP tasks, to monitor their  states,  and	if
       required, to cancel tasks.

KEYWORDS

       abort	 Cancels the specified ISP task.

       clear	 Removes  all  ISP  task objects from the specified task.  If no task is specified, this keyword clears all task objects for tasks
		 that have a status of CANCELLED, DONE or FAILED.

       help	 Displays information on vxvoladmtask usage.

       list	 Lists all ISP tasks.

       monitor	 Monitors the specified ISP task.

       set	 Renames the tag for an ISP task.

OPTIONS

       -n	 Monitors ISP tasks that are newly registered while the program is running, as well as	the  specified	ISP  tasks.   This  option
		 applies only to the monitor keyword.

       -t time	 Exits monitoring after time seconds.  This option applies only to the monitor keyword.

EXAMPLES

       List all ISP tasks:

	      vxvoladmtask list

       Remove the ISP task object with the tag, Task1:

	      vxvoladmtask clear Task1

       Cancel the allocator task object with the tag, Task2:

	      vxvoladmtask abort Task2

EXIT STATUS

       The  vxvoladmtask  utility exits with a non-zero status if the attempted operation fails.  A non-zero exit code is not a complete indicator
       of the problems encountered, but rather denotes the first condition that prevented further execution of the utility.
