Yeah, I guess this is legal, it just seems so unlikely that I'm surprised
they actually support it.  In any case, if the server for a reverse domain
doesn't end in .IN-ADDR.ARPA it obviously can't require a glue record.

I tried all of the ARIN.NET servers, and none of them seemed to return glue
records for any of the servers for 210.161.in-addr.arpa.
