I occasionally get error messages from gethostby* that look similar to (2.1R):

gethostby*.gethostanswer: asked for "53.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa", 
	got "53.0.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa"

This appears to be caused by DNS servers having CNAMEs in their tables.  ie
when I do a dig -x on the above address, I get:

;; ANSWERS:
53.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa.      86221   CNAME   53.0.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa.

;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:
62.32.128.in-addr.arpa. 86221   NS      ns1.Berkeley.EDU.
62.32.128.in-addr.arpa. 86221   NS      ns2.Berkeley.EDU.


My question is, does this have an impact on anything?
