Actually you usually do. When anyone does a reverse lookup on your IP, it will 
point at the ISP's DNS, not yours, so unless you have reverse delegation set up 
on your ISP, creating your own PTR record is ineffective. To this end, most 
hosting ISPs (certainly all of mine do) provide a facility to configure reverse 
DNS entries in their name servers.
