Hello,

I know a hostname can point to multi-IPs.

but can an IP have multi hostnames in PTR?

164.0.217.172.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN	PTR	mia09s16-in-f4.1e100.net.
164.0.217.172.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN	PTR	ord38s42-in-f4.1e100.net.
164.0.217.172.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN	PTR	yyz08s10-in-f164.1e100.net.

this IP does seem like so. I never know this.

RFC 2181 would seem to cover this:

10.2. PTR records

   Confusion about canonical names has lead to a belief that a PTR
   record should have exactly one RR in its RRSet.  This is incorrect,
   the relevant section of RFC1034 (section 3.6.2) indicates that the
   value of a PTR record should be a canonical name.  That is, it should
   not be an alias.  There is no implication in that section that only
   one PTR record is permitted for a name.  No such restriction should
   be inferred.



Thanks.
