due to the way RPSL-authentication and DNS tree'ing work, this is not easy to do in a non-hierarchical structure, so "having this done by the RIPE NCC" makes sense from a technical point of view.

While it is true that DNS is hierarchical, there is no particular reason that the RIPE NCC or any RIR has to be the one managing the reverse DNS.

OTOH, I can see that the NCC wants to see some money in exchange for the expenses running all this (and that seems to make sense as well :-) ).

If it's too costly, I assure you that there are several DNS companies that would be happy to take over the task. -- Shane
