You probably shoudln't do multiple PTR records.  I would do something
as follows:

  genericname.domain.com A 192.168.1.1
    vhost1.domain.com    A 192.168.1.1
    vhost2.domain.com    A 192.168.1.1

genericname.domain.com PTR 192.168.1.1

In "psuedo" code. :-)

So your IP reverse resolves to the generic name, but your vhosts still
forward resolve to the correct IP so you can do your named based
virtual hosting.

If you need forward and reverse to match for whatever reason, you'll
have to do separate IP addresses.
