If you're using its external IP address for Hde NAT, yes, forward and reverse. We had issues with business-to-business web sites about four years ago where they rejected our traffic because the lack of a DNS name made them suspicious.

If you're sending email servers are behind it using Hide NAT, yes, or you'll get tagged as a possible spammer. You also cannot set an SPF record without it.

Just make it a generic word. One of our subsdiaries uses "surf.ourcompany.com"
