	Stupid web host providers that seem to think that every
	virtual service provided by the box requires a PTR record.
	On top of that they keep adding records past the ability
	of the nameserver implementation / protocol to send the
	records back.  This is a total waste of resources, no
	application looks past the first PTR record.
