Yes--provided you remember the final . in your PTR record:
192-168-0-5 IN PTR www.someotherexample.com.

My pleasure. Can't take the credit for it, though. I've seen a friend

Delores breezed along the surface of her life like a flat stone forever
skipping along smooth water, rippling reality sporadically but oblivious
to it consistently, until she finally lost momentum, sank, and due to an
overdose of flouride as a child which caused her to suffer from chronic
apathy, doomed herself to lie forever on the floor of her life as
useless as an appendix and as lonely as a five-hundred pound barbell in
a steroid-free fitness center.
