For the most part, people use ptr records in an advisory capacity only.
However, A/AAAA records are generally used for actual connection attempts.
So if AS112 were to host .local / .lan / etc, that could be used to
redirect TCP connection attempts from lan boxes to machines of the AS112
operator's choice. This is trivial to abuse.
