No.  It helps when you try and do revers DNS lookups, but reverse DNS
doesn't even need to point to your domain name.

(Try it on me - lookup infinity-ltd.com, and then try a reverse DNS on
64.34.45.209...)  I was using Joker's name servers before Telocity
desided it was ok for me to use their name servers...
