Multiple PTRs for one IP

I'm using a RedHat 6.0 (Kernel 2.2.5) system...
My 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. file contains several PTRs pointing to
several hostnames.
(e.g. 1 PTR mail.domain
1 PTR ftp.domain
1 PTR ns.domain
1 PTR www.domain
etc...")
My /etc/resolv.conf file has a nameserver 192.168.0.1 line.
When starting nslookup, it starts with a default server of ftp.domain
instead of ns.domain that I wanted... (They are the same IP :)
When doing a ls -d 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa, somthing like this is
displayed
......
.......
1 1D IN PTR ftp.domain.
1D IN PTR www.domain.
1D IN PTR mail.domain.
etc........
the ftp.domain. is displayed first, which I guess would explain why the
Default Server when using nslookup is ftp.domain.
I know this is purely a cosmetic issue, but is there any way to change
the order of the ls -d 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. or somehow set the
default server to use ns.domain instead of ftp.domain?
