That would be a problem, and yes you can have multiple PTR records 
for one IP address.  However, it only picks the first one.  This 
makes it very difficult when running assorted services on a single IP
address where other companies expect the PTR name to be the same as
the service name.  The only thing that should matter is the domain name.
Where as the only dilemma would be virtual domains running on one IP.

What do you think?

whatever.xxxxxx.com     -where whatever does not matter only the domain.

Because you can have multiple services on that IP:

192.168.1.2 = whatever.com      (this should be the PTR if possible)
192.168.1.2 = ftp.whatever.com
192.168.1.2 = www.whatever.com
192.168.1.2 = smtp.whatever.com
192.168.1.2 = pop3.whatever.com
192.168.1.2 = mail.whatever.com

you get the idea...
