or maybe not? Isn't it possible to do Named Virtual Hosts with a
CNAME? If that is true, then you do not need 1000s of A records and
thus you do not need the corresponding PTRs.

Having said so, why on this list if one posts a pertinent question
about, say, exim delivery to cyrus, oh how uninterested I am!, one
gets one or two replies, whilst for these well known semi-irrelevant
topics the flood-gates open?
[this was a rethorical question that does not need a reply!]
