Because that was the initial context of the discussion! There appeared to be a policy at IANA of one hostname per IP address in the root zone. It's clearly unworkable to insist on there being exactly one hostname for an IP address. There should of course be one PTR record per IP address, but that's an entirely different discussion.
I don't see the discussions as different. The rationale for the one address per name I once ran into was because they had to limit PTRs to one per address. If you allow multiple names to one address, what do you put in the PTR record that will yield meaningful results in logs? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar If you knew what I was thinking, you'd understand what I was saying.
