If $ORIGIN is set to "propagation.net" in the zone file then yes it
can be removed. If not, then 216.221.160.30 would end up resolving to
cobalt.160.221.216.in-addr.arpa, which is not good :) I've seen that
too many times, however..
I'll jump on the redundancy bandwagon and say, again, that the first PTR
record there just needs to be dropped totally, in favor of the second one
which is below. Also, Scott, it's tcp wrappers that is doing this! Not
tcp-env nor anything to do with qmail (also said in a previous post).
