Virtual Domains and PTR records

Is anyone else using Web* with virtual domains (single IP w/ multiple
domains)??

I have set up Webstar and EIMS on one machine, and have Quick DNS on another.
Everything seems to work OK, but when I run DNS expert I get the error
message about:

The reverse record "1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." does not refer to the host
"thecorrecthost.problemdomain.com."

Now I realize I should have a PTR record for every A record in my DNS., so
I added a couple of PTR entries into my reverse lookup.

Now when I run DSN expert I get the error telling me I have more than one
PTR record for a single IP

My question is:. which way is better:
1.) Leave the reverse lookup to onlu point to my main host with a single
PTR record for the IP
or
2.) Set up multiple PTR records for each virtual domain ( even though they
will be pointing to single IP)

Thanks
