All,

Is there any support for disabling lameness checks for reverse DNS?

1. It seems that they cause some annoyance to administrators.

2. As far as I know there has never been a study showing improvement for
   DNS users based on removing lameness in reverse DNS (or in any DNS).

These two things suggest to me that the pro-active lameness checks
should be disabled, at least until it is shown that lameness actually
causes problems.

Cheers,

Shane
