	I've never seen the benefit of multiple pointers in the
	reverse tree.  People just keep adding them until they
	exceed the ability of the protocol to return.  In reality
	nothing depends on there being a matching ptr for a address.
	The reverse however is not true.

	Everytime I see something like this I realise that the
	operators have no clue whatsoever.  If they can't do DNS
	what else can't they do.
