Domain and subdomain from the same IP

[Brian Salomaki]

Having more than one PTR record for one IP address is supported, but 
generally unnecessary and not recommended.  You should probably just use pick 
one of the names that you want to be the main name of the box, and add a PTR 
record for that, so if you want the machine to be referred to as myco.com. :

s	IN	PTR	myco.com.

Also, don't forget to add your NS records for the file.
