Multiple PTR or not?

all of my machines currently have matching forward and reverse names 
in dns. If I add a new forward zone " bethsd.org " then I will have a 
new zone with the same ip's as my current zones without reverse PTR 
records. All of my PTR records will reverse back to the original 
beth.k12.pa.us.  That just doesn't seem right to me. But I guess that 
is the way to go right?

The only reason i am doing this is because a new administrator did 
not want to type in beth.k12.pa.us. He thought it was too long and 
does not care how " internet " correct it is. And since this is not a 
sub domain which would be sub.beth.k12.pa.us, I kindof clueless as to 
how to make both domains work over the same address space. I cannot 
replace the pa.us domain. i just need to add a .org as an optional 
way to find us.
