Yes, this I knew. I think what caused me to suspect it as somehow not
being completely correct is the result from a host command:

# host 66.104.104.100
100.104.104.66.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 100.96/28.104.104.66.in-addr.arpa.
100.96/28.104.104.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer email.example.com.

It just doesn't look right.

Thanks,
Alex
