Afaik there is no political requirement. But I think your clients will be *VERY* happy when you do provide them with a matching forward and reverse. Ever tried ssh'ing into a server with a host which had a mismatching reverse!=forward? Also you will block your clients from using protocols like SMTP and some others that do forward=reverse checking, not even mentioning the various logging methods around the world. Note that for SMTP it is almost a real requirement as it aids a lot of people in debugging. Oh and don't forget that some people actually also use IRC... If you intend on a 'wildcard' entry for a reverse, better not do any reverse at all... Generating a reverse is not that difficult, bind offers that nice $GENERATE option anyway. Though nicer is too use one of the various dictionary lists, which will make your clients a bit more happier. The best for your clients of course is to allow them to change the reverses, which is seen as quite a value for a lot of customers.
