1. You're assuming IP-based hosting (1 site per IP address), whereas most
people are either using or going to use name-based. This does not work for
name-based virtual hosting; httpd.conf *has* to be edited.

2. You can have multiple A records to one IP address, but you should only
have one PTR record for that IP address. The idea is, a DNS query should
always return a single result, whether it goes name->number or number->name.
