Looks okay to me, eg:

[philip at pfs-pc philip]$ dig -x 65.174.251.254

;; ANSWER SECTION:
254.251.174.65.in-addr.arpa. 86400 
IN   PTR     infra-251-254.nanog23.merit.net.

[philip at pfs-pc philip]$ dig infra-251-254.nanog23.merit.net

;; ANSWER SECTION:
infra-251-254.nanog23.merit.net. 3600 IN A      65.174.251.254

Was there a particular example you have?
