I don't think multiple PTR records are valid - there can be only one,
which may be confusing the receiving software.

My setup is something like the following:

rose.idhost.info.     A 1.2.3.4
4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa. PTR rose.idhost.info.
idhost.info.     MX 10 rose.idhost.info.
kevinsteen.net.  MX 10 rose.idhost.info.
