More Multiple PTR Records

You don't say this, but one may hope that the different domains have
addresses delegated out in some reasonable manner; e.g., one gets
139.78.1.0 through 139.78.5.255; another gets 6-10; etc.  If this is
the case, then the best way to handle your situation may be to also
delegate handling of the reverse DNS to the other domains' name
servers.  E.g., your 78.139.<...> domain may contain:
	1.0	IN PTR	host1.okstate.edu.
	2.0	IN PTR	host2.okstate.edu.
	...
but it would also contain:
	1	IN NS	ns1.chem.okstate.edu.
	...
	6	IN NS	ns1.bio.okstate.edu.
	...
	11	IN NS	ns1.athletics.okstate.edu.
	...
This would be done in the master copy, of course, which would then get
copied out to the slaves.

Also of course, if you have handed out individual IP addresses at random
among the domains, this kind of system can not be implemented.
