Network and subnet names

[Auer Karl James]

Just out of interest, what do people do with their network and subnet
names?

I'm putting the names of networks and subnets in an A-Record in the
appropriate forward zone with the network/subnet mask as the "address",
and putting a PTR record in the appropriate reverse zone that points to
the name. This seem to me to be delivering the most important aspects of
a network/subnet.

It's been suggested that I should have PTR records in the appropriate
forward zones too, with network/subnet names pointing to their
in-addr.arpa names.

Comments? Is there a "best practice" here?

Regards, K.
