Hello Peter,


The reverse delegation policy is documented in:
           http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/rev-del.html

There is _no_ wording about the RIPE NCC requiring reverse delegation to
be set up by the LIR or by the end users. 


I reckon that the language you tend to remember is from the RIPE 244
(obsoleted) section 5.0: "LIRs should provide reverse delegation
corresponding to an assignment during the complete validity period of
the assignment."

I hope this answers your query.

Kind regards,

PS. "Encouraging the use of DNS IN-ADDR Mapping" by D. Senie
might be relevant. That draft is currently discussed in the IETF DNSOP
working group, the most recent revision can be found at:
