rDNS, by definition, can only resolve to a single host name.  One IP ==
one host name.

Multiple host names, of course, can resolve to the same IP.

rDNS only means the IP owner is willing to point the address to a
specific name.  It's a weak anti-spam technique at best.  Useless at
worst.  I tried implementing a similar rule on my mail server (block
mail from server's who's IP doesn't resolve to a name) and ended up
rejecting a lot of legitimate mail.
