Virtual Hosts, Reverse Lookup and Mailserver

[Chris Buxton]

Create exactly one PTR record for the address, for your main domain.  
To solve the mail issue, rather than looking at PTR records, look at  
your MX records - make all the MX records refer to the same name.  
That is, instead of this:

domain.		MX	10  mx.domain.

Use this:

domain.		MX	10  mx.maindomain.

You should also create SPF records in each domain. See <http:// 
openspf.org/wizard.html>.
