The first question to ask is: why use multiple PTRs?

people are often confused and think that multiple PTRs are needed for
"virtual hosting". virtual hosting uses multiple A records.

anyway, as has been said, postfix and other servers will use the first
PTR returned by the resolver. in the case of round robin, this may be
any of the listed PTRs. and if the server requires "confirmed" rDNS,
then it means you need more work to get it right (for each PTR, you need
to setup an A record pointing to the client IP).
