You do have a reverse-lookupable name for that address
(66.51.210.228.dslextreme.com), but that name has no address.  But
unless the server is treating you differently than most other clients
(i.e., it's giving you special permissions), it oughtn't care about
these DNS records.  If it does care, that's a misconfiguration.
