reverse (just one possible):

This is a bit off topic, but I've seen multiple PTR records for one ip 
address,
for example 64.251.192.200 has 245 different PTR records. I can't help but
think this is violating some established practice somewhere.

Read §10.2 of RFC2181 again, more carefully this time:

10.2. PTR records

   Confusion about canonical names has lead to a belief that a PTR
   record should have exactly one RR in its RRSet.  This is incorrect,
   the relevant section of RFC1034 (section 3.6.2) indicates that the
   value of a PTR record should be a canonical name.  That is, it should
   not be an alias.  There is no implication in that section that only
   one PTR record is permitted for a name.  No such restriction should
   be inferred.
