This is the specific problem that DRIP addresses. See

Without commenting on the rest of it:
------
3.1 Designation Record Template
The template for the DNS records is:
${IPS}.${IPV}.relays._email_.${DOMAIN}. IN ${TYPE} ${IP}
With:
${IPS}
The textual representation of the IP address.

that would be better with it as the *reverse* of the address. This
allows DNS administrators to better deal with address ranges. At
which point, it's very similar to:
http://ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fecyk-dsprotocol-03.txt
In addition, it suffers from the same DNS related problems as RMX,
and draft-fecyk-dsprotocol-03.txt. This isn't to say it's broken,
it's just imperfect.
