Yes, if you call Comcast's Business Class Customer Care at 888.563.2933, their technical support can modify the reverse DNS pointer record so that 173.13.167.209 resolves to nhouse.theindiecompanyllc.com.  I've contacted Comcast before to delegate RDNS authority to me, but they didn't allow that for customers.  When I had AT&T DSL, AT&T did delegate RDNS authority to me.
