I argued about this with them *at length* and they kept inventing more reasons why I was breaking RFC compliance. They even told me they couldn't accept my nameservers as these would 'waste bandwidth' which was 'terriby expensive' in South Africa. It probably is, but that has nothing to do with my nameservers and their reverse delegation! In the end sanity more or less broke out and one of them stated that they were very busy with legislation &c and unable to change a script that was only causing problems for me and for nobody else.
You are not the only one, We also have had many problems with them regarding this issue and were essentially stonewalled. Any of our users in the .co.za namespace are unable to use ns3 or ns4 of our nameservers. It's a shame especially because it seems to be such a worthless requirement.
