A quick question as it relates to reverse records.
 
We are providing a customer a /27 block of IP addresses for his network and in turn we are also providing the reverse DNS records for these IPs.   It was my understanding that best practice would be to build reverse records for these as host records are added by the customer.   However, the customer wants generic reverse records built for each ip in the following format, where 1-2-3-4.custdomain.com is not actually a valid (A) record:  
 
1.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa         PTR         1-2-3-4.custdomain.com
 
My question is this.   What is the recommended practice regarding reverse records without a valid host (A) record?    It seems to me at this point the reverse would merely server to be informational as to the holder of the IPs, which really isn't the function of rDNS.
 
Thanks.
 
Mike
