PTR record for CNAME

Is there a way to create a reverse lookup for both the  CNAME and the
actual name ?

Example:

 actual-name                 IN  A     		actual-address.
 aliased-name                IN  CNAME	 actual-name.

 actual-addrerss.IN-ADDR.ARPA.  IN  PTR    actual-name.
 actual-addrerss.IN-ADDR.ARPA.  IN  PTR    aliased-name.

When a reverse lookup is performed on the actual-name it works
(because its listed first, I assume), but on the CNAME it doesn't.
This makes sence since I can't have ambigious information in the
records, but is there a way to have both names available to a reverse
lookup ?


Thanks for any help.
