Reverse DNS should point from the IP# to one name; in general the
canonical name of the computer.
For example, www.nobaloney.net and www.mailtraqusa.com are both served
on my Raq at "216.116.124.170". The reverse DNS points to the canonical
name of the machine, or in this case "joshua.ez-access.com".
