Yep... but all they would say (the support ticket I submitted) was "We don't do that here", which is true. The problem was that apparently with the Proxy they do, it replaces your IP with one of theirs when you are using their cloud service to cache your pages (normal). When Ram Node's utility to set your reverse DNS goes to check your domain agains the IP you have - ding - no joy, the domain resolves to one of their IP's. You have to temporarily disable all services on CloudFare, give it a few minutes and then you can make your RDNS change. Then go back and re-enable the CloudFare service. My RDNS is working now (noticed in my mail.log that postfix was able to send the queued messages). I'm still debating whether to use Google hosted apps (it takes some additional DNS configuration) or just go straight postfix on my box.

 

Even the Ram Node guys weren't sure what was up as they could see that there was an "A" listing for the domains I was trying. Once I figured it out I closed the ticket with them after letting them know the solution.

 

This last 4 days has been a lot for this caveman to wrap his head around (but now I'm pulling Ubuntu off my desktop and going to install CentOS to play with to get familiar with it).  Of course, before I get finished with it gotta play a couple of rounds of Battle Field 3 on the new maps. :p
