I can confirm that the GNATS server performs double lookups of PTR against
A records, anyway.

My ability to contribute to the FreeBSD Project has been rather hampered
to say the least by our hosting provider's high latency in responding
to our repeated requests to give us control of our PTR block, but it's
done now, and messages to the lists, as well as to various other
protagonists, now actually get delivered.
