You can't do virtual hosting with reverse records, so to eliminate
redundancy, just pick one of those names and point the PTR back to it.
For the virtual hosting itself, configure your *forward* (A) records to
point the same IP address, and configure Apache to distinguish between
the virtual hosts. As an alternative to multiple A records, you could
make some or all of those names just aliases (CNAME records) to a "main"
name, which would own an A record.
