hi,
I want to ask some folks out there that maintain reverse DNS queries
of their respective IP blocks. I want to know if there is a need for
me to contact my upstream provider. I am in charge of 2 /24's under
LACNIC. I've already registered my DNS servers on LACNIC. but for some
weird reason it's not owning reverse resolves. any tips would be
gladly appreciated.
thanks,

You can use the dig utility that usually comes with bind to trace the NS
records for the ip block down, just run:
# dig 255.254.253.252.in-addr.arpa @a.root-servers.net NS +trace
That will tell you what nameserver is directing you where. You can also
use this web-based utility to query the root nameservers to figure out
where your queries are being directed to: http://www.squish.net/dnscheck
. Just make sure you are entering your ip in the reverse-dns,
*.in-addr.arpa format, and not the actual ip address.
