Not a problem. Here's the relevant part of my zone file (externally visible
server for neutralgood.org):
209-42-217-33 IN PTR tome
209-42-217-34 IN PTR stone
209-42-217-35 IN PTR ducttape
209-42-217-46 IN PTR tesseract
If I'm not mistaken, you'd just need something like that on your end
and the matching CNAMEs on your ISP's end.
