It will NOT allow you to foward a domain to a specific web page. Use a webhop for that. Port numbers can be changed with webhops, as well; CNAMEs cannot change the HTTP default of 80 to any other port number. Do not use CNAME defined hostnames in MX records.

A PTR record or pointer record maps an IPv4 address to the canonical name for that host. Setting up a PTR record for a hostname in the in-addr.arpa domain that corresponds to an IP address implements reverse DNS lookup for that address. For example www.name.net has the IP address 122.0.3.16, but a PTR record maps 16.3.0.122.in-addr.arpa.

Here as you see the IP Address is reversed and added with in-addr.arpa and this has come to the left side while the actual domain name has gone to right side of IN PTR.

This is mostly used as a security and an anti-spam measure wherein most of the webservers or the email servers do a reverse DNS lookup to check if the host is actually coming from where it claims to come from. It is always advisable to have a proper reverse DNS record (PTR) is been setup for your servers especially when you are running a mail / smtp server
