That is not true, you have to have a valid A record in the correct domain.

This is how it works (and how you should check you reverse lookups in
your applications):

1. Do a reverse lookup.
2. Do a lookup with the name from 1.
3. Check that the IP address is one of the adresses you got in 2.

Ignore the reverse lookup if the check in 3 fails.
