Those I treat as being the loony fringe, and they do things >my way, or they don't get delegations... I'm struggling with two large ISP's to get my reverse delegation for my dedicated access set up (one's done) and my biggest problem is finding information or contacts so that I can get my zone set up in advance. I end up doing it (at best) in parallel with the delegation because it's so hard to find out what's needed up front. With one ISP, I was emailed an HTML FAQ that should have been on their web site, and I only figured out who to email by asking in their newsgroups. So if you're going to establish this kind of requirement, *please* make your requirements readily available and findable for us guys in the trenches.
