Reverse DNS always has to be taken with a grain of salt. For example, look 
up the IP address for my domain name (paleo.org) and then do a reverse DNS 
on it (perhaps by doing a traceroute). It reverse-resolves to 
station175.com. In my case, that's because my IP address is shared with 
other domains. That doesn't seem to be the case with moneydance.com -- I 
don't know why its reverse resolution does what it does -- but it's one 
manifestation of the fact that the domain name system is only designed for 
one-way lookup and reverse lookup is only a kludge.
