What is happening here is that Ameritech/SBC is using CNAMEs to delegate on 
other than Class A/B/C boundaries.

They actually have done it correctly.  In this case, you would set up a PTR 
record for 3.0.199.42.65.in-addr.arpa, which would be the reverse DNS entry 
for 65.42.199.3.  It's a bit confusing, but works.
