You can either ask them to do this for you, or, as I mentioned in your previous topic here.. ask your ISP if switching to a business tier will allow them to assign a custom PTR record for your IP.

Generally the first option is easier, if they're your friends, justifying the PTR record to an ISP is often difficult.. and some have no procedure to change it for customers.
Well I'm talking about networks like Efnet, Freenode, etc. where it displays your public IP address with no vhost masking. Would I have to set up my own nameservers and have my reverse DNS point to my domain from my public IP address in order to change my host?

I have no idea, but this is for just IRC networks in general not just one
