many people confuse "virtual hosting" (web, ftp, ...) which means having
many names that resolve to the same IP, with reverse DNS "coherence"
which means:

if I resolve the IP, say 192.0.2.1, I get a name, say foo.example.com
If I resolve foo.example.com, I should get the "original" IP, that is
192.0.2.1.

here is an example of a "correct" config:

== PTR
192.0.2.1 => joe.example.com

== A
joe.example.com => 192.0.2.1
titi.example.com => 192.0.2.1
tata.example.com => 192.0.2.1
tutu.example.com => 192.0.2.1
fifi.example.com => 192.0.2.1


as you can see, the IP has a SINGLE PTR, but many names resolve to the
IP (thus allowing "virtual hosting").

I yet to see any reason why one would want multiple PTRs for an IP.
