	Interesting, cause I'm working on something like that, and I find
it more difficult to think of all the checks needed to have only 1 PTR and
be sure that every address with an associated name has a PTR (example, if
you delete the name thats is the current PTR, system will have to check
into all the domains to see if something else points to that address,
choose or ask somebody to choose one, and add the PTR) than just adding a
PTR for the address every time an A pointing to the ip is added. 

	Any particular reason why you did it that way? And, any
"exception" worth mentioning that would make it necessary to choose
between all the A the one that we "need"? (.rhosts, as some post in the
list archives mention, doesnt seems very important to me right now, but I 
guess the double-lookup trick it and a lot of other software does its
going to be the answer)

	Thanks in advance
