You are correct.  Either your provider has to do reverse ip resolution
or you need to ask them to pass reverse request on to you.  Either way,
you need to contact them.  Also, if they are going to do reverse dns for
you they probably will do regular dns for your domain as well.  This
would save you the headache and admin of bind servers as well.  Just a
thought.
