Title: PTR record for a virtual IP

I am sure this has been addressed before but I just want to doublecheck…just a yea or nay will be fine.

My primary domain is todhunter.com

MX: 10  mail.todhunter.com. [TTL=3600]  IP=24.73.160.163 [TTL=3600]

PTR: 163.160.73.24.in-addr.arpa mail.todhunter.com. [TTL=86400]


I am getting ready to add a virtual domain to my mail server, cruzanLTD.com

The MX record will read mail.cruzanLTD.com IP=24.73.160.163
The PTR record is still going to point to mail.todhunter.com

I know, previously, it was stated that the ptr record just has to exist, but doesn’t really have to point back to the same hostname as the MX.

Is this still true?

My ISP still has control over the reverse zone and getting the first PTR set up was like pulling teeth.

Which really brings me to my next question. Can there even be 2 PTR's pointing to different host names?

Thanks,
Sharyn
