[Users] Reverse DNS really necessary?

Hi,

oVirt's setup procedure seems to insist reverse DNS records are present.

When running engine-setup interactively, you are able to override this, 
but with automated installations it flat outs refuses to install:

==
[root at ovirt ~]# engine-setup --answer-file=answers
Welcome to oVirt Engine setup utility
The IP 192.168.88.102 does not hold a PTR record for the FQDN: 
ovirt.maxnet.eu
Failed handling answer file: Error reading parameter HOST_FQDN from 
answer file
==

Kinda annoying requirment, when you only want to create a quick test setup.


Was wondering where it is actually using reverse DNS for?
