How to get reverse DNS with a cable modem?

I have an Ultra 30 at home, running Solaris 9 8/03, connected to a
Shaw Cable modem. DHCP works very nicely, even though they don't
support Solaris. The only problem I have is that there is no reverse
DNS on the IP address that it's given. There is forward DNS. Is it
possible that they expect the DHCP client to register reverse DNS?
Is there a way to do this with solaris?
