You mean a nameserver, right?
The only other reason I've needed PTR records is to download software with
export restrictions, where the host uses the PTR to authenticate the
computer's physically located in the US.
Since I never know what machine I may be downloading from, I've created PTRs
for all of them.
But now I'm going to change the PTR to the mailserver's name.
