You should only have ONE reverse lookup (PTR record) per IP.
This is the domain that a person will get sent to if they type in the
IP directly (into their browser location bar).
If you have more than one PTR record set up, you'll be telling the
server to send them to multiple domains - and it will just serve up
whichever PTR record it comes across first.

So for virtual sites - no PTR record. Set a PTR only for the *main*
site on that IP, where you'd want people to be sent if they came to
your IP directly (usually this is the main site of the server if this
is the only IP that you have.)
