you most like cannot. You'll have to contact the noc who assigned you the IPs to do this.

A fairly good tutorial of rDNS with bind can be found here:
http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/pacbell-rdns.html

Its for pacbell but its pretty much universal..

And yes.. You'll need authority to setup rDNS for your IPs and most likely you do not have it..

can i know what reverse DNS is all about? =)

[The Prohacker]

Making an IP resolve to a domain.. Instead of a domain resolving to an IP..

DNS: Domain -> IP
rDNS: IP - > Domain

Hence the r for reverse

to answer the OP's question, you should ask your web host to do that for you.
