While from DNS' point of view there is no reason to do that, many programs
checking and/or validating reverse DNS may comply or give strange results
(different hostname may appear in the logs).

Also, validating (forward confirming) more reverse names takes much longer
time than validating just one. Or, will you validate only one/few of them?

So, I think that the recommendation above is good.
