In the modern days, where often a lot of services *with their own
domain names* run on big server machines, it is unreasonable to require
that forward and reverse resolving agree. (The SPF stuff might be 
a more reasonable assumption, but the most thorough implementors are
the spammers, afaik.)

Requiring any PTR might be ok.
