I'd suggest you read what I actually wrote. :) Nothing in either RFC that
you quoted, or any of your examples contradicted my actual point, which was
that PTR records are not valid outside of in-addr.arpa name space. If you
believe they are, give valid working examples and explain their meaning,
since there currently is not a definition for their use outside of
in-addr.arpa.
