I want to thank everyone for their input. It sounds like they do need the reverse address entries in specific circumstances so I'm going to recommend that they add them.
Thank you.

It very much depends on the reasons for the forward entries. For example: Commercial backup software for Microsoft servers require forward-reverse-forward matching. They won't move bytes unless a lookup returns an IP, the reverse lookupo returns a name and a forward lookup for that name matches. Commercial and open source email handlers are often configured (some as a default) to refuse or quarantine messages from inbound sessions using non-matching host==>IP==>host entries. If it's for a local experimental lab, it might be a waste of your time to even create the reverse zones.
