[NCSA-discuss] Host naming convention

[Steven Champeon]

Oh, and one more observation: for the love of Pete, do NOT put 'in-addr'
or 'arpa' in your PTR. :) Putting an IP in the PTR (e.g., for 1.2.3.4, a
name like 1-2-3-4 or 1-2.3-4 or 1.2.3.4 or 4.3.2.1) is sort of
redundant, as it must be known to find the PTR In the first place, but
seems to be a very common practice, probably because it at least allows
you to differentiate between one IP and another. 

For a laugh, this is my favorite PTR of all time:

dont-blame-admin-its-a-dynamic-pool-55.32.186.91.dynamic.wobline-ip.de [91.186.32.55]
