Section 3.3.12 of RFC 1035 (PTR RDATA format) appears to say that no constraints are placed upon a domain-name that is the RDATA of a PTR record, that it is simple data and no special meaning or further processing is associated with it (hence implying that it is ok if that domain-name is defined as a CNAME somewhere else in the domain space). Is that not the case? Is there some other part of the DNS specification that forbids it?
