Rfc1912 section 2.1 says:
"Every Internet-reachable host should have a name. The
consequences
of this are becoming more and more obvious. Many services
available
on the Internet will not talk to you if you aren't correctly
registered in the DNS.
Make sure your PTR and A records match. For every IP address,
there
should be a matching PTR record in the in-addr.arpa domain.
This pretty much settles it for me. I think I win this argument.
Thanks for all the help from everyone that posted useful responses.
