I'm sorry - I gave out some wrong information.

For some reason I thought 'host' would resolve an IP address
and _then_ perform the PTR lookup. I don't know what I was
smoking.

$ host -t ptr 24.9.218.175

175.218.9.24.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer ci590846-b.lxintn1.ky.home.com

Is correct.

Thus I follow through...

$ host -t mx freebsdportal.com.
freebsdportal.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.freebsdportal.com

$ host mail.freebsdportal.com.
mail.freebsdportal.com is a nickname for freebsdportal.com
freebsdportal.com has address 24.9.218.175
freebsdportal.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.freebsdportal.com

So it is the cname goofiness and not a lack of PTR that was
causing the problem.

I'm sorry if I confused you.
